Question

write an expression for the sequence of operations described below. add b and the sum of c and a do not simplify any part of the expression.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the sum of c and a

The sum of \( c \) and \( a \) is \( c + a \).

Step2: Add b to the sum

Now, we add \( b \) to the sum \( c + a \). So the expression is \( b + (c + a) \).

Answer:

\( b + (c + a) \)
