The expression was rewritten using the
.
Line 1 says

dots.
Line 2 says
plus+
, which could be represented using dots as ●●●●●●plus+ ●dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, plus dot, for a total of
dots.

Answer 1

To analyze Line 1 and Line 2 and answer the questions, let's break down the expressions:

1. **Line 1: "1, plus, 6" represented as "1+6"**
- The expression involves the number 1 and the number 6.
- "1" can be represented using dots as ● (1 dot).
- "plus" indicates the operation.
- "6" can be represented as ●●●●●● (6 dots).
- Therefore, the total number of dots in Line 1 is 1 (for the 1) + 6 (for the 6) = **7 dots**.

2. **Line 2: "6, plus, 1" represented as "6+1"**
- This expression involves the number 6 and the number 1.
- "6" can be represented using dots as ●●●●●● (6 dots).
- "plus" indicates the operation.
- "1" can be represented as ● (1 dot).
- Therefore, the total number of dots in Line 2 is 6 (for the 6) + 1 (for the 1) = **7 dots**.

Now we provide the final observation:

The expression was rewritten using the **same total number of dots for both lines**.
- Line 1 says "1 + 6," represented with 1 dot plus 6 dots, for a total of **7 dots**.
- Line 2 says "6 + 1," represented with 6 dots plus 1 dot, also for a total of **7 dots**.

Thus, both Line 1 and Line 2 consist of **7 dots in total**.
