To represent the situation with an equation, you start with the total number of candies in the jar, which is \( j \). According to the problem, if you eat 4 candies and have 10 candies left, you can express this mathematically as:
\[
j - 4 = 10
\]
This equation states that if you subtract 4 candies from the total \( j \), you will have 10 candies remaining.
\[
j - 4 = 10
\]
This equation states that if you subtract 4 candies from the total \( j \), you will have 10 candies remaining.
