Part B

Which equation shows how to find how much taller Samuel's dad is than Samuel?
534+x=416
534+416=x
534−x=416
416−x=534

Answer 1

Part A: 534 − 416 = 118, so Samuel’s dad is 118 feet taller.

Part B: The correct equation (from the choices) is 534 − x = 416, which gives x = 118. (Equivalently 416 + x = 534.)
