Answer 2

Answer:

The expression which represents the total number of cans that Brady recycled is:

                                    3x−4

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that:

Brady recycled 4 cans less than 3 times the number of cans Addison recycled, x.

3 times the number of cans Addison recycled is given by:

                    3x

and 4 less than this quantity is given by the expression:

                          3x-4

Hence, the expression which represents this situation is:

                            3x-4
