It will be 5.15-w= minimum wage in 1996. Your keyword in that word problem would be when they said that 5.15 was w more than the minimum wage in 1996. I hope I helped ya :)

Answer:

Expression for the minimum wage in 1996 is:

5.15-W

Step-by-step explanation:

The minimum wage in 2003 was W more than the minimum wage in 1996.

Minimum wage in 2003=Minimum wage in 1996+W

The minimum wage in 2003 was $5.15.

Let x be the minimum wage in 1996.

Then, 5.15=x+W

x=5.15 - W

Hence, expression for the minimum wage in 1996 is:

5.15-W
