Interpreting an Expression

Jerome wrote the following scenario to match the algebraic expression s

− 16:

“16 fewer than four times the number of songs on my mp3 player”

Does his scenario match the expression? Explain.

The scenario does not match the expression, the expression is 4 - 16 so it would be 16 fewer than 4 songs
