Tyler ate x fruit snacks, and Han ate 34 less than that. Write an expression for the number of fruit snacks Han ate.

Answer 1

Hello Calee,

Han ate 34 less fruit snacks than Tyler.

How many did Tyler eat? The problem tells you Tyler ate x fruit snacks.

Since Han ate 34 less than Tyler, you would SUBTRACT 34 from the number of fruit snacks Tyler ate to get the expression for how many Han ate: that would give you x - 34.

The answer is x - 34.

Cheers.
