Question

Tony has 6 packages of baseball cards. Each package has 70 baseball cards in it. Lora has 14 fewer baseball cards than Tony. How many baseball cards does Lora have? Write an equation and solve.

Answer 1

Total number of cards Tony has is 6(70) = 420 cards.

Lora has 14 fewer cards than Tony, so that's 420 - 14 = 406

If you want a single equation, you can write:
L = 6(70) - 14, where L is the number of cards Lora has.

Answer 2

70 x 6 = x x = the answer you get
x - 14 = y
