Final answer:
The sentence 'The sum of 22 and Victor's age is 43' is translated into the equation 22 + v = 43, with v representing Victor's age.
Step-by-step explanation:
The sentence 'The sum of 22 and Victor's age is 43' can be directly translated into an equation by finding the equivalent mathematical expression. Since the sum indicates addition, we use the plus symbol (+) to combine 22 and Victor's age, which we represent with the variable v. The phrase 'is 43' tells us that this sum equals 43. Therefore, the correct equation that represents the sentence is option A) 22 + v = 43. Here's a step-by-step explanation:
- Identify the known: 22 which is a constant in the equation.
- Identify the unknown: v, which stands for Victor's age.
- Express the answer as an equation: Start with the known value 22, then add Victor's age, v, and set the sum equal to 43, which results in 22 + v = 43.
