5. Additional Example 1: Writing an Expression
Write an expression for the missing value in the table.
Spike’s Age
Rusty’s age is Spike’s age plus 4.
Rusty’s Age 2 6
= 6 3 7
= 7 4 8
= 8 a
a + 4
a + 4
When Spike’s age is a, Rusty’s age is a + 4.

9. Additional Example 2: Writing an Expression for a Sequence
Write an expression for the sequence in the table.
Position 1 2 3 4 n
Value 7 10 13 16
Look for a relationship between the positions and the values of the terms in the sequence. Use guess and check.
Guess 7n Guess 3n + 4
Check by substituting 2. Check by substituting 2.
7 • 2 does not equal • = 10.
The expression 3n + 4 works for the entire sequence.
3 • = 7, 3 • = 10, 3 • = 13, 3 • = 16
The expression for the sequence is 3n + 4.

12. Additional Example 3: Writing an Expression for the Area of a Figure
A triangle has a base of 6 inches. The table shows the area of the triangle for different heights. Write an expression that can be used to find the area of the triangle when its height is h inches.
Base (in.)
Height (in.)
Area (in2) 6 1 3 2 4 12 h
6 • 1 = 6, 6 ÷ 2 = 3
6 • 2 = 12, 12 ÷ 2 = 6
6 • 4 = 24, 24 ÷ 2 = 12 3h
In each row of the table, the area is half the product of the
base and the height. The expression is or 3h. 6h 2 __

13. Check It Out : 3A
A triangle has a base of 10 inches. The table shows the area of the triangle for different heights. Write an expression that can be used to find the area of the triangle when its height is h inches.
Base (in.)
Height (in.)
Area ( in 2 ) 10 1 5 2 4 20 h ?
5 h

14. Check It Out : 3B
Suppose the entries in the base column and the height column of the table are reversed. Would your expression for the area of the triangle change? Explain.
No; possible explanation: the area is always one half the product of the base and height.
