Write two expressions to show w increased by 4. then, draw models to prove that both expressions represent the same thing.

w + 4 and 4 + w

Step-by-step explanation:

Given phrase,

w is increased by 4,

That is, w + 4

By the commutative property of addition,

The expression would be,

4 + w

For drawing a model that shows w + 4

Take two boxes in which first shows w and second shows 4 and add them,

Similarly, for showing 4 + w, take first box that shows 4 and second box that shows w then add them.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given

since, we have to isolate x on anyone side

so, we can move all x terms on one side

subtract both sides by 2x

add both sides by 9

divide both sides by 4

we get

b

step-by-step explanation:

a difference is the result of subtraction. while each of these expressions has subtraction in it, a difference will be the result when subtraction is the last operation applied in the order of operations for the expression. this means subtraction must be outside of the parenthesis. only b has this.
