    nine times x is twice the sum of x and five

    Take this algebraic expression in 4 pieces:

    Step 1: nine time x:
    9x

    Step 2: The sum of x and five means we add 5 to x:
    x + 5

    Step 3: The word twice means we multiply the sum x + 5 by 2:
    2(x + 5)

    Step 4: The word is means equal to, so we set 9x equal to 2(x + 5) to get our final algebraic expression of:
    9x = 2(x + 5)
