Question

Ron's mother bakes a pizza and divides it into 14 pieces. After serving 6 pieces to Ron and his friends, she has p pieces left. What is the equation for p?

Answer 1

14-6=p
Or: 6+p=14
One of those should work :)
The answer is 8.
Let me know if you still need help.

Answer 2

p+6=14

Explanation:

(1. Ron's mother mother has 14 slices, so automatically since we know this information we know the total is 14.

(2. She gave 8 pieces away. This is clear subtraction. So we have 14-8=p. The remanding slices after the 14 being eaten by 8 friends is 6 or p.
