4) Charlie collects baseball cards and decides to give some cards (x) to
his nephew. If he starts with 542 cards, which expression represents the
number of cards Charlie will have left after he gives x cards to his
nephew?*
542 + x
542-X
542x
0542/

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

542 -x

542 is the largest number. He can't give more than that away. So he starts with 542. He doesn't add any more to that and he doesn't multiply. Division doesn't make any sense.

He must subtract.
