I will right it sideways. you can use this strategy later on if you would like. I put (parentheses) around what is optional to include. the = to the left of the second word number is to show that the number is equal. if there are two different variables you would put a crossed out equal sign. _______________ eight= 8 l more than= + six= 6 times= x (a)number= n l _______________ added (to)= + _______________ one= 1 l more than= + = number= n l _______________
(I tried to do parentheses)
then, you rewrite what you wrote beside the words!
