Tess is 3 inches shorter than Johnny. Johnny is i inches tall. Write an expression that shows how many inches tall Tess is.

Answer 1

If Johnny is \( i \) inches tall, and Tess is 3 inches shorter than Johnny, you can express Tess's height with the following expression:

\[ \text{Tess's height} = i - 3 \]

So, Tess is \( i - 3 \) inches tall.
