Identify the variable and the operations described in the phrase. Here, the variable is \( x \).
Translate "negative three times the value of x" into an algebraic expression. This means multiplying \( x \) by \( -3 \), which gives \( -3x \).
Next, interpret "increased by 5" as adding 5 to the previous expression.
Combine the two parts to form the full expression: \( -3x + 5 \).
This expression correctly represents "negative three times the value of x increased by 5".
