Answer:


m=\displaystyle (t-6)/(3)

Explanation:

Hi there!

Let t equal the total number of muffins.


t-6 ⇒ This represents freezing the 6 muffins


\displaystyle (t-6)/(3) ⇒ This represents sharing the remaining muffins among 3 people

Therefore, the expression would be
\displaystyle (t-6)/(3).

If you would like to change this into an equation, it would be
m=\displaystyle (t-6)/(3), where m is the number of muffins that each person gets.

I hope this helps!
