To translate the statement “Remy lost some of the $14 his mom gave him” into an algebraic expression, we need to represent the amount Remy lost as a variable.
The correct way to express this is:
- Let \( x \) be the amount of money lost by Remy.
- Since he originally had $14, after losing some money, we would express the remaining amount as \( 14 - x \).
The expression that represents the amount of money Remy has left after losing some would be \( 14 - x \).
As the specifics of each student's response are not provided, the correct form for representing the loss in this scenario can be noted as \( 14 - x\).
If one of the students wrote this correctly, that student would be the one who is correct. If you can share what each student wrote, I can help you identify the correct one.
