hi help please? ^.^

Answer 5

hint: focus on the term `increased `

what math operation increases a number?

Answer 6

addition? lol

Answer 7

eg: 2 increases to 9

what happened to 2? Did we divide? subtract? or something else?

Answer 8

yes, adding increases the number

Answer 9

so if you start with `a` and increase it by `b`, you basically add on `b`
