<PRE><B>Question 1150902</B>
&lt;pre&gt;
Let&#39;s go through the words like this:
&lt;/pre&gt;
seven more than the product of three and some number.
&lt;pre&gt;
Underline &quot;some number&quot;:&lt;/pre&gt;
seven more than the product of three and &lt;u&gt;some number&lt;/u&gt;.&lt;pre&gt;
Replace &quot;some number&quot; by &quot;x&quot;:&lt;/pre&gt;
seven more than the product of three and x.&lt;pre&gt;
Underline &quot;the product of three and x.&lt;/pre&gt;
seven more than &lt;u&gt;the product of three and x&lt;/u&gt;.&lt;pre&gt;
Replace &quot;the product of three and x&quot; by &quot;3x&quot;:&lt;/pre&gt;
seven more than &lt;u&gt;3x&lt;/u&gt;.&lt;pre&gt;

Now comes the hard part.
Ask yourself this question: How do you make something seven more?
The answer is: You write it down and then you put &quot;+7&quot; after it.
So you write down 3x and then you put &quot;+7&quot; after it.

Answer:&lt;/pre&gt;3x+7&lt;pre&gt;
