Am I correct Steve or Ms. Sue???

imagine not being answered for 8 years

Yes. :-)

wow yt

wow sus 9y thata pritty bad

Ok... then is it C???

YAY!! Thx ^.^

Suppose you are comparing two numbers at are greater than 1000.you want to find the smaller of the numbers . How many pairs of digits might you have to compare more you have your answer? Explain

To determine which word phrase represents the algebraic expression 4(21+n), we need to understand the order of operations in algebra and the meaning of each term.

In the given expression, 4(21+n), we have a number 21 and the variable n, which represents another number. According to the order of operations in algebra, we first need to perform the operation inside the parentheses, which is the addition of 21 and n.

After that, we need to multiply the result of the addition by 4, as indicated by the coefficient 4 in front of the parentheses. Multiplication takes precedence over addition.

Now, let's analyze the answer choices:

1. "4 plus the sum of 21 and a number n":
This phrase suggests that we add 4 to the sum of 21 and n. However, the given expression requires us to multiply by 4, not add.

2. "4 times the product of 21 and a number n":
This phrase correctly represents the given expression. The expression 4(21+n) means we multiply 4 by the sum of 21 and n.

3. "4 times the sum of 21 and a number n":
This phrase suggests multiplying 4 by the sum of 21 and n. However, this is the opposite of what the given expression indicates. It should be the sum of 21 and n multiplied by 4.

4. "4 less than the sum of 21 and a number n":
This phrase suggests subtracting 4 from the sum of 21 and n. However, the expression 4(21+n) requires multiplication, not subtraction.

So, the correct answer is "4 times the product of 21 and a number n."

Nope.
