Question

Does someone mind helping me with this problem? Thank you!

Answer 1

The variable that belongs in the green box is T

(p=T-a-b)

Explanation:

The total amount of fruit (T) minus the apples (a) and minus the bananas (b) would leave us with just the pears (p).

Writing this out mathematically, we have : T - a - b = p

Answer 2

p = t - a - b

Explanation:

T = a + p + b

- p + T = a + b

- p = - T + a + b

p = T - a - b
