Question

Drag a description to match each equation.

Answer 1

Given:

The descriptions and equations. The equations are

$y=4x$

$y=x+4$

To find:

The correct description for each equation and match them.

Solution:

We know that, "+" is used for more and "×" is used for times.

Additive: y is 4 more than x.

$y=x+4$

Additive: x is 4 more than y.

$x=y+4$

Multiplicative: y is 4 times x.

$y=4x$

Multiplicative: x is 4 times y

$x=4y$

Therefore, the correct description for the equation $y=4x$ is "Multiplicative: y is 4 times x " and the correct description for the equation $y=x+4$ is "Additive: y is 4 more than x. "
