Jillian was asked to translate the expression 9 n into words. She wrote "a number increased by nine. " Which best describes the accuracy of Jillian’s answer? It is incorrect. The variable would come first in the expression "a number" (n) "increased by" ( ) "nine" (9). It is incorrect. The phrase "increased by" refers to the inequality symbol "greater than" (>), not addition. It is correct. A number increased by nine (n 9) is the same as nine increased by a number (9 n). It is incorrect. A number increased by nine refers to a multiplication expression (n times 9).
