To translate the statement "Remy lost some of the $14 his mom gave him" into an algebraic expression, we can let \( x \) represent the amount that Remy lost. Since he started with $14, the expression that represents the amount Remy has left after losing some would be:

\[ 14 - x \]

Now let's evaluate the four students’ solutions:

  1. Alice: Needs to state her expression.
  2. Bobby: Needs to state his expression.
  3. Daniel: Needs to state his expression.
  4. Camila: Needs to state her expression.

Without the expressions provided by each student, it's impossible to determine who is correct. Please provide the expressions that each student gave, and I will help you identify which one is correct.
