Krista and Alexa played balloon darts in a school fair. Krista popped 6 balloons, which is 1 balloon less than Alexa. Complete the working equation that represents the number of balloons, b, that Alexa popped and solve the equation. (1 point) b − 1 = b = balloons

1 answer

The equation that represents the number of balloons that Alexa popped is b - 1 = 6.

To solve the equation, we can add 1 to both sides:

b - 1 + 1 = 6 + 1

This simplifies to:

b = 7

Therefore, Alexa popped 7 balloons.
