Question 4:
2x-3
Because we don’t know how much Fernando has that would be where we fill in the variable giving you 2x then 3 dollars less will give you the -3 therefore 2x-3
Question 5:
1/2x+7
Because we don’t know Deb’s age that would be the variable and we are looking for half of Deb’s age giving you 1/2x then the 7 years more giving you the +7 hence 1/2x+7
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
We have the following variables:
y: hours of sleep
x: age
Each day, a young person should sleep 9 hours
This means that y is 9 added to something
plus 1 4 hour for each year that the person is under 18 years of age.
For each year the person is under 18 years of age, she should sleep 1/4 = 0.25h on top of the 9 hours.
So the equation relating hours of sleep y and age x is:

3(x+8)
You know that area of a rectangle is length x width. The width you know is 3 and the length is whatever x is plus 8 more inches, therefore it is x+8.
