Question

Shannon is 11inches Shorter than karissa. karissa is c inches tall. Write an algebraic expression for shannon height

Answer 1

Answer: s = c - 11

Explanation:

Shannon’s height is 's'

Since Shannon is 11 inches shorter than Karissa, and Karissa’s height is referred to as 'c', then it should be s = c - 11

It doesn’t matter which letter you use to represent Shannon’s height, as long as it’s not 'c'. I just used 's' as an example.
