Question

9. James wrote 665 poems in his entire life. 430 poems are very

prominent and they also became very famous. How many of his
poems were not that popular?

Answer 1

Answer:
`\Large\boxed{235}`

Explanation:

Given information

Number of famous poems = 430

Total poems = 665

Requirement of the question

Find the number of poems that are not popular (famous)

Let n be the number of poems that are not popular

Derived expression from the given information

# of Famous poems + # of not popular (famous) poems = Total poems

Substitute values into the expression

(430) + (n) = (665)

Subtract 430 on both sides

430 + n - 430 = 665 - 430

`n=\Large\boxed{235}`

Hope this helps!! :)
