Yesterday Ali had n Baseball cards.

Today he gave away 6 cards.

We are asked to write an expression for the number of cards Ali has left.

Ali had a total of n cards and he gave away 6 from them.

So, we have to simply subtract 6 cards from the total n cards.


n-6

Therefore, the expression is n - 6 represents the number of cards Ali has left.
