Which steps can be taken to translate the phrase “the height of a tree is increased by seven inches” into an algebraic expression? Check all that apply. Replace “the height of a tree” with a variable, x. Replace “seven inches” with a variable, x. Replace “increased by” with an addition symbol. Replace “seven inches” with 7. Replace “increased by” with a multiplication symbol. Replace “the height of a tree” with 7. Write the expression x + 7. Write the expression x times 7.
The height of the tree is the variable, so you would replace that with a letter (let’s say x) Increased is adding so that would be replaced with an addition symbol (+). Finally, the number 7 is being added. So the answer is x+7 :) hope this helps
