Question

Translate this sentence into an equation.

73 is the sum of 8 and Greg's age.
Use the variable g to represent Greg's age.
(Sorry I typed it wrong the first time )

Answer 1

8 + g = 73

Explanation:

73 is what the final sum is, so it stands by itself on the right side of the equation

g is Greg's age, which is unknown, but it does represent a number!

therefore, g+8=73
