Hummm I know that they are just wanting you to up the sentice into numbers. Could you tell me what that would be?

anonymous · Answer

I already done 99% work for you, Can you continue with the difference?

anonymous · Answer

Well what you would really do now is since it is 4^2 you would do 4 x 4 = 64. But it did not want me to solve it. It just said write it NOT solve it

Difference does NOT mean to solve it!

anonymous · Answer

Right i'm just saying it asked for us to write a algebraic expression NOT solve you was trying to make us solve it.
