Answer

(15+x)+7

Work Step by Step

The problem lists the sum of 15 plus x first, so we first add 15 and x and put this part of the expression in parenthesis. The phrase then states that it is the sum of 15+x "plus 7," so we add 7 to the expression in parenthesis to get the overall algebraic expression.
