To translate the statement “Remy lost some of the $14 his mom gave him” into an algebraic expression, we represent the amount Remy lost as a variable.
Let's analyze the statement:
- The total amount given to Remy is $14.
- If Remy lost "some of" that amount, we can represent the amount lost as a variable, commonly denoted as \( x \) or any other letter representing an unknown amount.
Thus, the correct algebraic expression can be written as:
\[ 14 - x \]
This expression shows the total amount Remy has left after losing \( x \).
Without seeing the specific responses from Daniel, Camila, Bobby, and Alice, it's impossible to definitively identify which student is correct. However, the correct response would be one that reflects the idea of the total $14 minus the unknown amount lost. Please check the students' responses to identify the one that matches this algebraic expression.
