Variable g is 8 more than variable w. Variable g is also 4 less than w. Which pair of equations best models the relationship between g and w?

A. g= w – 8
g = w + 4
B. w = 8g
w = g – 4
C. g= w + 8
g = w – 4
D. w = 8g
w = g + 4

Question

Variable g is 8 more than variable w. Variable g is also 4 less than w. Which pair of equations best models the relationship between g and w?

A. g= w – 8
            g = w + 4
	B. w = 8g
            w = g – 4
	C. g= w + 8
             g = w – 4
	D. w = 8g
             w = g + 4

vocaloid · Answer

"8 more than w" means that g = w + 8 (more means add, in this case)
"4 less" means that g = w - 4 (less means subtract, in this case)
