5 times the sum of s and 7

5 (s+7) or (s+7) * 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Read the question carefully when trying to do these problems. Whenever it states "sum" then you should automatically put the terms behind it (s and 7) together to add them together. This would look like s+7.

Next it says 5 TIMES the sum of the terms therefore you should put s+7 together in parentheses and multiply them by 5 so that you first have the sum of s and 7 in parentheses. This would then look like 5 (s+7) or (s+7) * 5.
