To determine the number of baskets Andrew made, we know that Joe made 9 baskets, which is 2 baskets more than Andrew. We can express this relationship using an equation.
Let's let \( b \) be the number of baskets Andrew made. According to the information given:
Joe's baskets (9) = Andrew's baskets (b) + 2
We can write the equation as follows:
\[ b + 2 = 9 \]
So, to complete the equation:
- The left side (for Andrew) is \( b \)
- The number you add on the left side is 2
- The total on the right side is 9
The completed equation is:
\[ b + 2 = 9 \]
