    7 times a number increased by 4 times the number

    Let a number and the number be an arbitrary variable. Let's call it x. We have an algebraic expression. Let's take it in pieces:
    • 7 times a number: 7x
    • 4 times the number: 4x
    • The phrase increased by means we add 4x to 7x:
    • 7x + 4x
    • Simplifying, we get: (7 + 4)x
    • 11x
