Write “eleven more than sixteen times the number of women” as an algebraic expression, where 𝑤 is the number of women.

In this question, our variable is 𝑤 as this is the number of women. 16 times the number of women is 𝑤 multiplied by 16. We write this as an algebraic expression as 16𝑤. The constant comes before the variable. Our statement wanted 11 more than this, so we need to add 11. The algebraic expression that is 11 more than 16 times the number of women is 16𝑤 plus 11.
