d. 4(q + p)
MY ANSWER D.?????
Right! :-)
Yes, your answer is correct. The algebraic expression for the phrase "4 times the sum of q and p" is 4(q + p).
To arrive at this expression, you need to break down the phrase into its individual components:
1. The sum of q and p can be represented as q + p.
2. "Times" indicates multiplication, so you need to multiply the sum by 4.
Therefore, the algebraic expression is 4(q + p).
