Question

Mason has 6 more marbles than Kasie has. Write an algebraic expression that represents the amount of marbles that Mason has

Answer 1

Answer:  k+6

Explanation:

k = number of marbles Kasie has

Since Mason has 6 more than her, this means he has k+6 marbles. Whatever k is, add 6 to it to get Mason's count.

For example, if Kasie has k = 5 marbles then Mason has k+6 = 5+6 = 11 marbles.
