Answer:
Sofia is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
Mark's statement depends on the starting point. He can be correct if they started at the 0 mile, but in this case we don't know where they started. They could had started at the 12 mile and their current position after the walking would be 16 miles.
On the other hand, Sofia's statement doesn't depend on where they started. She refers to how much they walked, not to where they are after the walking. Since they stopped after 4 non-stopping miles, their displacement was exactly 4 miles. So Sofia is correct.
That is the Identity Property of Addition.
If it is adding and the whole number stays the same it is Identity Property of Addition.
If it is multiplying then it would be the Identity Property of Multipulcation. For example for this problem it would be 6x1 in multipulcation in which the whole number would stay the same.
Here are descriptions of all the properties:

Answer: y=12 x=28
Explanation:
x=Amount of Small Lanterns y=Amount of Large Lanterns
25x+40y=1180
x+y=40
x=40-y
25(40-y)+40y=1180
1000-25y+40y=1180
1000+15y=1180
15y=180
y=12
x+12=40
x=28
