Answer
5n + 5.6
Work Step by Step
"twice" = 2*
"sum of a number and 2.8" = n + 2.8
"added to" = +
"3 times the number" = 3*n
Therefore, "Twice the sum of a number and 2.8, added to 3 times the number" translates to 2*(n + 2.8) + 3*n.
Simplify the expression:
2(n + 2.8) + 3n = 2(n) + 2(2.8) + 3n = 2n + 5.6 + 3n = 5n + 5.6
