Question

You used p minutes one month on your cell phone. The next month you used 75 fewer minutes. Simplify the expression.

Answer 1

Hi there!

Let's assume that one month is represented by the variable 'm', the amount of minutes you started with is 's', and minutes you spent is 'p'.

So, one month can be represented as 'm=s-p'.

The next month is a bit more tricky. This will incorporate 75 less minutes into the equation. 'm=s-75' can be used to represent this, as we assume that you didn't use any minutes in the first month, and that p=75 in this case.
