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.
