Lamar visits the zoo every summer. Last summer, there were 4 baby giraffes. There were 9 more adult giraffes than baby giraffes.
Which equation can you use to find how many adult giraffes there were?
4+9=
4 x 9=
Let x be the number of adult giraffes.
The equation could be x = 4 + 9.
The equation you can use to find how many adult giraffes there were is:
4 + 9 = x
where 'x' represents the number of adult giraffes.
To find how many adult giraffes there were, we can use the equation 4 + 9 = ?
The equation 4 + 9 represents adding the number of baby giraffes (4) to the difference in quantity between baby and adult giraffes (9). By adding these two values together, we can determine the total number of adult giraffes.
