Question

Translate this sentence into an equation. 23 more than Delia's height is 56. Use the variable d to represent Delia's height.

Answer 1

Answer: d + 23 = 56

Explanation:

" More than" is another way of saying "added by", so your problem is Delia's height added by 23 is 56. If we replace Delia's height with the variable d, then we get d added by 23 is 56. This is really easy now,

d + 23 = 56
