Answer 1

Answer:
`c=150-8s`

Explanation:

Given: Tyrone takes 8 pieces of candy from the bag each time he snacks. After eating 18 snacks, there are only 6 pieces of candy remaining in the bag.

The total number of candy in the bag=
`18*8+6=144+6=150`

Let s be the number of snacks and c be the number of candy.

The remaining candy in the bag= Total candy - candy he ate

Then the function's formula for the remaining candy is given by:-

`c=150-8s`

Answer 2

Each "snack" was 8 pieces of candy, and there were 18 of them (plus 6 candies) to start with. Hence the starting number was ...

... 18×8 +6 = 144 +6 = 150

Each snack reduced that number by 8, so the candies remaining are

... c = 150 -8s
