Question

There are 42 photos in Harrison's photo album of his classmates, including 7 photos of his best friends. Which equation can be used to find p, how many photos he included of the rest of his classmates?

Answer 1

p = 35

Explanation:

To find the number of photos Harrison included of the rest of his classmates, we need to subtract the number of photos of his best friends from the total number of photos.

Therefore, the equation that can be used to find p, the number of photos he included of the rest of his classmates, is:

p = total number of photos - number of photos of best friends

In this case, the total number of photos is 42 and the number of photos of best friends is 7. So, the equation becomes:

p = 42 - 7

Simplifying, we get:

p = 35

Therefore, Harrison included 35 photos of the rest of his classmates in his photo album.
