Question

14 bugs are crawling on the steps. Some of the bugs are black, and 4 are

Answer 1

Answer:

b  = 14-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of black bugs be b

Let the number of green bugs be g

If 14 bugs are crawling on the step, then;

b + g = 14 ....1

If there are 4 green bugs, then g = 4

Substitute g = 4 into the equation

b + g = 14

b + 4 = 14

b = 14 - 4

Hence the sentence that can be required to find the number of black bugs is b  = 14-4
