Question

Jim scored n points in a basketball game. This was 6 points more than Frank scored, who scored f points. How many points did Frank score?

a) n - 6
b) n + 6
c) n + f
d) n - f

Answer 1

Frank scored n - 6 points, where n represents Jim's score and it is given that Jim scored 6 points more than Frank.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks about the relationship between two basketball players' scores. Jim scored n points and Frank scored f points.

If Jim scored 6 points more than Frank, we can express Frank's score as Jim's score minus 6 points. Therefore, the number of points Frank scored would be n - 6, which corresponds to option a) n - 6.
