Exercise 1 Page 22

Then we have the sum of ... and ..., so we will add two terms, 2 and b. the sum of 2 and a number b 2 + b Now we can rewrite our verbal expression as the quotient of 2+b and 3. Finally, to perform division, we want 2+b in the numerator and 3 in the denominator. the quotient of 2+b and 3 ⇒ 2+b/3 Note that this is only one of multiple ways to algebraically express the given verbal expression.
