Brendan has six less than five times the number of pencils that Riley has. Let p represent the number of pencils Riley has. Writ e an algebraic expression that represents the number of pencils Brendan has in terms of p, the number of pencils that Riley has.
1 answer:
Answer: 5p - 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Brendan has six less than five times the number of pencils that Riley has.
P = the number of pencils Riley has.
The algebraic expression that represents the number of pencils Brendan has in terms of p, the number of pencils that Riley has would be:
= (5 × p) - 6
= 5p - 6
For example, if Riley has 5 pencils, the number of pencils that Brendan would have would be:
= 5p - 6.
= 5(5) - 6
= 25 - 6
= 19 pencils
