Answer:
The correct option is 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given statement is "three times the sum of a number and 4".
We need write the mathematical expression for the given statement.
Let the unknown number be x.
The sign " + " is used for addition and sum.
The sign " × " is used for multiplication, times and product.
Sum of a number and 4 = [tex](x+4)[/tex]
Three times the sum of a number and 4 = [tex]3\times (x+4)=3(x+4)[/tex]
The required expression is 3(x+4). Therefore, the correct option is 2.
