Given:

Amelia has 15 more baseball cards than her brother, Derrick.

Required:

We need to find the statement that makes the given expression true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amelia has 15 more baseball cards than Derrick.

So the difference in the number of cards that Amelia and Derrick is 15.

The equation is


a-d=15

where a represents the number of cards that Amelia has and d represent the number of cards that Derrick has.

We can use the variable a to represent the number of cards that Amelia has because this quantity is unknown.

And also we can the variable d to represent the number of cards that Derrick has because this quantity is unknown

W can use the value 15 to represent the difference in the number of cards that Amelia and Derrick have because this is given in the problem

Final answer:

2. You can use the variable a to represent the number of cards that Amelia has because this quantity is unknown

3. You can use the variable d to represent the number of cards that Derrick has because this quantity is unknown

4. You can use the value 15 to represent the difference in the number of cards that Amelia and Derrick have because this is given in the problem
