Question

jon sock drawer has 6 fewer black sock than "w" white socks. write an expression for the total number of black socks

Answer 1

The correct answer would be b=w-6 , with b standing for black socks, and w standing for white socks. Hope I helped :)

Answer 2

black socks = w - 6.

Explanation:

John's sock drawer has a total of w white socks, the problem tells us that he has 6 fewer black socks than white socks, this would mean he has 6 less socks than the amount of white socks.

Therefore, written as an algebraic expression, this would give us that the total of black socks is w - 6.
