Question

express the given statement as an algebraic expression.
five pounds more than four times the weight, w

the statement \five pounds more than four times the weight, w\ can be written algebraically as \boxed{} (do not factor.)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify "four times the weight, w"

Four times the weight \( w \) means multiplying \( w \) by 4, so that's \( 4w \).

Step2: Add "five pounds more" to it

"Five pounds more" than \( 4w \) means adding 5 to \( 4w \), so the expression is \( 4w + 5 \).

Answer:

\( 4w + 5 \)
