The sum of one and the product of 4 and a number x

1 + 4x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's break this down.

"The sum of one" means that something is being added to the number one:

1 +

"and" whatever comes after the word 'and' will be added to the number one

"the product of 4 and a number x" this means that the number four and the variable x are being multiplied:

4x

Put it together:

1 + 4x

Therefore, the expression is 1 + 4x.

x is variable or an unknown value to find

example:

2x = 5 which means x = 3

answer: solve 5\cdot 2^x=2405⋅2  

x

=2405, dot, 2, start superscript, x, end superscript, equals, 240.

solution

to solve for xxx, we must first isolate the exponential part. to do this, divide both sides by 555 as shown below. we do not multiply the 555 and the 222 as this goes against the order of operations!

\begin{aligned} 5\cdot 2^x& =240 2^x& =48 \\ \end{aligned}  

5⋅2  

x

=240
