Variable g is 8 more than variable w. Variable g is also 4 less than w. Which pair of equations best models the relationship between g and w?


A) g = w − 8
g = w + 4

B) w = 8g
w = g − 4

C) g = w + 8
g = w − 4

D) w = 8g
w = g + 4

Answer 1

The answer is C.

g = w + 8

g = w − 4

Hope This Helps!

Answer 2

"g is 8 more than w" means
g = 8 more than w
g = 8+w
g = w+8

"g is also 4 less than w" means
g = 4 less than w
g = w-4

The two equations are therefore:
g = w+8
g = w-4

which means the answer is choice C
