Which expression is the correct translation of the following word phrase? "3 multiplied by the sum of a number and 5"answer choices: a) 5x+3b)3x+5c)x+(3)(5)d)3(x+5)i think the answe is b ,but i think it could be a as well ,but i just need toconfirm if i'm correct or not. in advance: ).

Hey, there! 

The parentheses would make it multiplication 
The word sum means add 
A number was unknown, so we will label it as "x" 

So, let's see what we're working with here! 

If you chose "Option A" the question would be "five multiplied by a number and the sum of 3" (that doesn't give you the right answer" 
For B. same thing with option A 
For "Option C" its not asking you "a number with sum of three times five" 

So, this leaves "Option D." as your answer because 3 is getting multiplied by the sum of some number and five

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
