Question

Helpppppp

Answer 1

The total number of students in the class = K

The number of students going on the trip = 17

 

Hence, the number of students not going on the trip = Total students - Students going

                                                                           =       K             -        17

 

Answer:

The number of students not going on the trip = K - 17

Answer 2

The class has K members.  17 are going on the trip so the ones not going is 17 less than K.

 

K-17 students are not going.
