Question

Write an expression using variables and/or numbers for each statement Mark had $35 but then spent m

Answer 1

Let's begin by identifying key information given to us:

Mark had $35. Let the amount in Mark's hand be represented as x

Mark spent m

The expression is represented as:

`\begin{gathered} y=x-m \\ x=35 \\ \Rightarrow y=35-m \\ \\ \therefore y=35-m \end{gathered}`
