The correct pair of equations that best models the relationship between g and w is:
D. g = w + 8
g = w − 2
Explanation: If g is 8 more than w, g = w + 8. And if g is 2 less than w, g = w - 2. Therefore, the correct pair of equations is g = w + 8 and g = w - 2.
Variable g is 8 more than variable w. Variable g is also 2 less than w. Which of the following pairs of equations best models the relationship between g and w? (4 points)
A. g = 8w
g = w + 2
B. w = g + 8
w = g − 2
C. w = 8g
w = g + 2
D. g = w + 8
g = w − 2
