Question

Yesterday I had n baseball cards. Today I gave six away. Using n, Write an expression for the number of cards I have left.

Answer 1

The initial number of cards is given as n.

It is given that six of the cards were given away. Hence, to get the number of cards left, subtract 6 from the initial number of cards, n:

`n-6`

The required expression for the number of baseball cards left is n-6.
