Question

can anyone help? here is the question: emily had y baseballs cards. she shared her baseballs cards equally among her four cousins and herself. then she gave 6 of her baseballs cards to her brother. write an expression for the number of cards she has left.

Answer 1

So if Emily had y baseball cards and distributes them evenly among 4 cousins and herself, then you would start off with y / 5 (don't forget herself) and then she gives 6 of them to her brother the final expression would be
(y / 5) - 6
