Answer:
[tex]y = (5 + x)^2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
"The square of the sum of x and 5 is equal to y."
Let's use our clue words that indicate what our equation will be.
Let's start easy, equal to y.
y =
Now let's look at the rest of the sentence minus the phrase we just used.
The square of the sum of x and 5.
The sum of x and 5 goes first,
x + 5
and since we are looking for the square of x + 5:
(5 + x)^2
therefore,
[tex]y = (5 + x)^2[/tex]
