Which expression represents a number that is four times as large as the sum of 8 and 160?

ANSWER: x = 4 ( 8 + 160 )

STEP BY STEP:

Let's start by getting a variable to represent the number. Let's use x. ⇩

x=

Now we know that there is a sum of 8 and 160. Let's add them to each other ⇩

x= 8 + 160

Now we know that this will be multiplied. Let's put parentheses around the addition to symbolize this.

X= (8 + 160)

Finally multiply this by four, making your equation

x= 4 (8 + 160)

I don't know the options but from looking at the problem I'm assuming the answer is
x = 4 ( 8 + 160 )
