Building the Backdrop

The theater club builds a backdrop with a fixed 4-foot-wide center section. Each added panel increases the total width by 2 feet. Let n be the number of added panels and w be the total width in feet.

1.
Which statement correctly identifies how the quantities depend on each other?
  • A. The total backdrop width depends on the number of added panels.
  • B. The number of added panels depends on the fixed center width.
  • C. The fixed center width depends on the number of added panels.
  • D. The width of each added panel depends on the total backdrop width.
2.
Which equation gives the total backdrop width?
  • A. w = 6n
  • B. w = 4n + 2
  • C. w = 2n + 4
  • D. w = 2(n + 4)
