Question
Mike found the difference between 18 and a number, n. Which is the correct expression and difference if n = 6?
18 – n; when n = 6 the value is 12.
18 + n; when n = 6 the value is 24.
18 + n; when n = 6 the value is 12.
18 – n; when n = 6 the value is 24.
18 – n; when n = 6 the value is 12.
18 + n; when n = 6 the value is 24.
18 + n; when n = 6 the value is 12.
18 – n; when n = 6 the value is 24.

The problem states that Mike found the difference between 18 and a number \( n \). The correct expression for the difference is:
\[ 18 - n \]
When \( n = 6 \):
\[ 18 - 6 = 12 \]
So the correct choice is:
**18 – n; when n = 6 the value is 12.**
\[ 18 - n \]
When \( n = 6 \):
\[ 18 - 6 = 12 \]
So the correct choice is:
**18 – n; when n = 6 the value is 12.**
