Exercise 1 Page 67

What operation does "more than" represent?

6+x

Practice makes perfect
The key phrase is "...more than..." This indicates that we should add two things. ... + ...

The two terms that we are adding together are: "six" and "a number." There are two ways in which we can write it. 6+a number or a number + 6 Let's choose the first option. When we say "a number," this is indicating an arbitrary number or a variable. If we call this number x, we can complete our expression. six more than a number 6 + x Note that this is only one of multiple ways to algebraically express the given verbal expression.
