six times a number: 6(x)
The sum of 6(x) and 25: 6x + 25
6x + 25 is your expression.
hope this helps
Call the number 'Q' until we know what it really is.
The number . . . . . Q
6 times the number . . . 6Q
The sum of 6 times Q and 25 . . . ( 6Q + 25 ) .
That's all we can do with it, because we still don't know what number Q really is.
