Mass and Algebraic Expressions

The video tutorial explains how to identify an algebraic expression to represent a real-world situation involving a box and marbles. The box has a mass of 50 grams, and each marble has a mass of 3 grams. The variable 'n' represents the number of marbles. The tutorial guides viewers through understanding the problem, setting up the expression, and solving it to find the total mass. The correct expression is identified as 50 + 3n, where 50 is the mass of the box and 3n represents the total mass of the marbles.
