Answer:
\Large\boxed{235}

Explanation:

Given information

Number of famous poems = 430

Total poems = 665

Requirement of the question

Find the number of poems that are not popular (famous)

Let n be the number of poems that are not popular

Derived expression from the given information

# of Famous poems + # of not popular (famous) poems = Total poems

Substitute values into the expression

(430) + (n) = (665)

Subtract 430 on both sides

430 + n - 430 = 665 - 430


n=\Large\boxed{235}

Hope this helps!! :)
