Question

Translate this sentence into an equation.

62 is the sum of 15 and Goran's height.
Use the variable g to represent Goran's height.

Answer 1

:D

Explanation:

Equation are formatted with this:

y = ax + b

We aren't given an a, or in other words a slope, so let's change it to this:

y = x + b

y is the sum, so it's 62.

62 = x + b

b is the extra number added on, which is 15.

62 = x + 15

Now x is Goran's height, but we need to change it to a "g"

62 = 15 + g. OR. 62 = g + 15
