To translate the statement “Remy lost some of the $14 his mom gave him” into an algebraic expression, we need to express the idea of losing a portion of the money he received.

  1. The total amount Remy has is $14.
  2. If he lost some of this amount, we could represent the amount he lost with a variable, such as \( x \).

Therefore, the correct expression would be:

\( 14 - x \), where \( x \) represents the amount lost.

Without the specific expressions from students Camila, Bobby, Daniel, and Alice, I can’t identify which one is correct. If you provide the expressions given by the students, I can help determine which one accurately represents the statement.
