You and a friend are playing a board game. Your final score x is 12 points less than your friend’s final score. Write and solve an equation to find your final score.

Question

I need help with this math problem.

Answer 1

let x = your friend's score

let y = your score

y=x-12

or use letters that identify You and your Friend, such as Y and F

then

Y = F-12

Your score is 12 less than your Friend's score
