Q. Edmond bought a new cage for his pet rabbit since he's gotten so big. The area of the old cage's floor was 6 square feet. The area of the new cage's floor is n square feet larger, for a total of 8 square feet.Which diagram models the story?Which equation models the story?Choices:(A) n−6=8(B) 6+n=8
Understand the problem: First, let's understand the problem: Edmond's old cage was 6 square feet, and the new cage is n square feet larger, totaling 8 square feet. We need to find the value of n that makes this true.
Set up equation: Set up the equation based on the problem statement: The old cage area plus the increase in area n equals the new cage area. So, 6+n=8.
Solve for n: Solve the equation for n: Subtract 6 from both sides to isolate n.6+n−6=8−6,n=2.
