Question

yesterday morning, c baby chicks hatched. another 4 chicks hatched later that afternoon. write an expression that shows how many baby chicks hatched in all.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the initial number

From the blue icon (assuming it represents the number of chicks hatched in the morning, let's say the blue icon shows 2 chicks, but wait, the blue icon here—wait, maybe the blue square has a number? Wait, the problem: Yesterday morning, some baby chicks hatched (let's say the blue icon is 2, but maybe the first number is, let's check the image. Wait, the blue square has a number, maybe 2? Wait, the user's image: the blue square has a number, maybe 2? Wait, the problem is to write an expression. Let's assume the first number (from the blue icon) is, say, 2 (since the blue square has a 2-like symbol? Wait, no, the blue square has a icon, maybe it's a number. Wait, maybe the first number is 2, and then 4 more. Wait, the problem: "Yesterday morning, [c?] baby chicks hatched. Another 4 chicks hatched later that afternoon. Write an expression that shows how many baby chicks hatched in all." Wait, maybe the first number is represented by the blue icon, let's say the blue icon is 2 (maybe the number is 2). So the initial number is, let's say, \( x \) (but maybe the blue icon is 2). Wait, maybe the blue square has a number, like 2. So the expression would be (initial number) + 4. If the initial number (from the blue icon) is 2, then the expression is \( 2 + 4 \). Wait, but maybe the blue icon is a number, like 2. So step1: Determine the first number (morning) as, say, 2 (from the blue icon). Step2: Add the afternoon number (4). So the expression is \( 2 + 4 \) (or if the morning number is \( n \), then \( n + 4 \), but since the blue icon is a number, maybe 2). Wait, maybe the blue square has a 2, so the morning chicks are 2, afternoon 4. So the expression is \( 2 + 4 \).

Answer:

\( 2 + 4 \) (or if the morning number is different, adjust, but based on the icon, likely 2 + 4)
