Sue-Belle, your cousin, is taking this same class in the 3rd hour. She thinks she aced the
question below. What do you think? Was she right? If she wasn't what did she do wrong and show
the complete correct answer. Use visual aids to help explain, if needed. Make sure all the work and
calculations are shown.

Question: Write the Symbolic Language for the following: "The result of the sum of 4 consecutive
odd integers is 421". Show all of your work and calculations are shown. Use a tape diagram to help
illustrate your work. Determine if the answer is Linear or Non-Linear and tell how you figured that
out.

Sue-Belle's Answer:
x+x+1+x+2+x+3=412
4x+6=412
This is Non-Linear because it looks like a curve when I graph it.

What do you think?
