Answer

Bev needs 8 dollars more to buy her game.

Step-by-step explanation

Let the amount of dollars that Bev needs be x dollars

She needs 18 dollars

She gets 6 dollars from her mom

And 4 dollars from her dad

Mathematically,

(Amount that she has currently) + (Amount that she needs) = 18

Amount that she has currently = 6 + 4 = 10 dollars

Amount that she needs = x dollars

(Amount that she has currently) + (Amount that she needs) = 18

10 + x = 18

Subtract 10 from both sides

10 + x - 10 = 18 - 10

x = 8 dollars

Hope this Helps!!!
