Answer 1

The expression \(6 - x\) represents a situation where a certain quantity (in this case, 6) is decreased by some unknown amount \(x\). Here are the three situations that fit this expression:

1. Gabrielle decreased her 6-minute mile by an unknown amount of time.

   • This represents \(6\) (the time in minutes) decreased by an unknown time \(x\).

2. Six servings of dinner were decreased by a number.

   • This represents \(6\) (the servings of dinner) decreased by an unknown number \(x\).

3. Westville has 6 fewer schools than Eastville.

   • This situation implies that Westville's number of schools can be represented as \(6 - x\), where \(x\) is the number of schools Eastville has.

The other two options do not fit the expression \(6 - x\):

• Sydney increased her collection of coins by six.
• Benjamin lost six of his stickers.
• Naomi gives some of her six pencils away.

These do not represent a decrease from 6; therefore, they do not apply.
