Joe and Andrew shot baskets in a school fair. Joe made 9 baskets, which is 2 baskets more than Andrew. Supply the correct numbers to complete the equation that can be used to determine the number of b

Answer 1

To determine the number of baskets Andrew made, we can set up the equation based on the information provided.

Let \( b \) represent the number of baskets Andrew made. According to the problem, Joe made 9 baskets, which is 2 more than what Andrew made. We can express this relationship as:

\[ 9 = b + 2 \]

If you want to isolate \( b \) to find out how many baskets Andrew made, you can rearrange the equation:

\[ b = 9 - 2 \]

Thus, the number of baskets Andrew made is:

\[ b = 7 \]

So the completed equation is \( 9 = b + 2 \), and Andrew made 7 baskets.
