Exercise 9 Page 7

We are asked to write an algebraic expression for the given verbal expression. The key phrase is ... more than ... This indicates that we should add two things. ... + ... The two terms that we are adding together are 4 and p. Since the verbal expression 4 more than p indicates that we are increasing an arbitrary number p by a number 4, the term p should be on the left-hand side of the addition. 4mo & re than p & p + 4 Note that this is only one of multiple ways to algebraically express the given verbal expression.
