4)) Which diagram represents the equation \( 10+f=17 \) ?

To represent the equation \( 10 + f = 17 \), you can visualize it as a simple balance scale where one side has 10 (like a block) and the other side has \( f \) plus 10. For the balance to hold true, \( f \) must equal 7, since \( 10 + 7 = 17 \). In diagram form, you might draw a line equation where the left part (10) plus a floating variable (f) balances out to the right part (17). To reinforce this, think about it as putting together parts of a puzzle. If you already have 10 pieces in place and need a total of 17, you simply need to find the missing pieces. Here, \( f \) represents the 7 pieces you need to complete your puzzle and achieve that harmonious balance!
