you simply have to write it out. So first one the expression would be 1285-622 because have to find the difference between the two numbers.

Of course, I can help you with these number expressions! To write a number expression, we need to understand what each phrase is asking us to do and then translate it into mathematical language. Let's go through each phrase step by step:
1) "1,285 is how much more than 622"
In this phrase, we are asked to find the difference between 1,285 and 622. To express this as a number expression, we subtract 622 from 1,285:
Number Expression: 1,285 - 622
2) "$402 increased by $86"
This phrase is asking us to add $86 to $402. To express this as a number expression, we simply add 402 and 86:
Number Expression: 402 + 86
3) "946 beads, then 80 fewer beads"
Here, we are first given the quantity 946 beads, and then asked to subtract 80 beads from it. To express this as a number expression, we subtract 80 from 946:
Number Expression: 946 - 80
4) "12 adults combined with 26 children"
For this phrase, we are asked to add the number of adults (12) to the number of children (26). To express this as a number expression, we add 12 and 26:
Number Expression: 12 + 26
By using these number expressions, you can help your son solve his homework problems accurately. I hope this helps! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
