4) Write an expression , in terms of n
(a) adds 20 to the number , then multiplies the result by 3
(b) multiplies the number by 3 then square roots the result
(c) multiplies then number by 4 , squares the result then subtracts 3
(d) cube roots the number, multiplies by 6 , then adds 10
(e) divides the number by 5, cubes the result then subtracts 9.
