Question

Drag a description to match each equation.

Additive: y is 4 more than x.
Additive: x is 4 more than y.
Multiplicative: y is 4 times x.
Multiplicative: x is 4 times y
y = 4x
y = x + 4

Answer 1

Given:

The descriptions and equations. The equations are

`y=4x`

`y=x+4`

To find:

The correct description for each equation and match them.

Solution:

We know that, "+" is used for more and "×" is used for times.

Additive: y is 4 more than x.

`y=x+4`

Additive: x is 4 more than y.

`x=y+4`

Multiplicative: y is 4 times x.

`y=4x`

Multiplicative: x is 4 times y

`x=4y`

Therefore, the correct description for the equation
`y=4x` is "Multiplicative: y is 4 times x " and the correct description for the equation
`y=x+4` is "Additive: y is 4 more than x. "
