Answer 1

Answer 2

The expression for the number of laps that Ian ran is

Number of laps run by Matt = 17

Let the number of laps run by Ian be x

As given Ian ran 'f' fewer laps than Matt.

So, we can express this as :

`x=17-f`

So, the expression for the number of laps that Ian ran is =
`x=17-f`
