Calculate total peppers: The chef chopped 14 red peppers, and we don't know how many green peppers, which is g. So we add them together.14+g
Evaluate answer choices: Now we look at the choices to see which one matches our calculation.(A) 14+g - This one looks right cuz it's just adding the red peppers to the green ones.(B) g−14 - Nah, this is subtracting, not adding.(C) 14 - This one's just the red peppers, doesn't include the green ones.(D) 14−g - Again, this is subtracting, not what we want.
