Practice makes perfect
Our approach to representing the given algebraic expression verbally will be to break it down into terms and operations.
q + 5
In this expression, 5 is being added to an arbitrary number or variable q. When we add two terms we can express this as "... more than ...".
& q + 5
& 5 more than a number q
Please note that it is often possible to express the same algebraic operations multiple ways, so our translation is only one of the multiple possible correct translations.
