Question

Jack has c pieces of candy. He gives away 10 of the pieces. Choose the expression that shows the number of pieces of candy Jack has left.

Answer 1

C - 10 = x

Explanation:

Jack starts off with c pieces of candy. He gives away 10 pieces of candy. This immediately becomes a subtraction problem. So far we have "c - 10". We are trying to find the number of pieces of candy Jack has left, so we need another variable. Let's use x:

c - 10 = x
