Question

What is the best algebraic expression.

There are X students trying out for a solo in a chorus concert. Only 6 will be chosen. How many students will not be chosen?​

Answer 1

X - 6

Explanation:

The total number of tryouts is X. Out of them, exactly 6 are chosen. So the remaining number of students will not be chosen.

To find the remaining number of students, subtract 6 from X.

the we get X - 6.

Hope it helps ;-)

Answer 2

X - 6

If it’s asking for an EXPRESSION (like you said) then this should be correct
