Given:

The phrase is "Wally mowed two more lawns than he mowed last week".

To find:

The expression that models the given phrase.

Solution:

Let the number of lawns mowed by Wally last week be n.

We know that, we use plus sign "+" for "more".

If Wally mowed two more lawns than he mowed last week, then the lawns mowed by the Wally this week is the sum of n and 2.

Lawns mowed this week =
n+2

The required expression for the phrase "Wally mowed two more lawns than he mowed last week" is n+2.

Therefore, the correct option is A.
