Explanation:

We can tell that x + 4 has the value of 17 by visualization.


\boxed{ \: \: \: \: \: \: x \: \: \: \: \: \: }\boxed{4}

x is larger in length, we can identify that x has the value of 13 when 17 and 4 subtract.

Using the tape diagram, sum of all portions in the rectangle equals to the length of the rectangle. Hence,

  • x + 4 = 17

Using the tape diagram given;

  • Portions of the rectangle; x ; 4
  • Total length of rectangle = 17

The total length of the rectangle = sum of all the horizontal portions of the rectangle

This means that;

  • x + 4 = 17
