Maya has 2 times as many apples as Ally if Ally has 87 apples how many apples dose Maya have now? Maya's sister takes some away. Write an algebraic expression that represents the amount of apples they have now?

(2*87) -l

2 * 87 = 174

174 + 87 - x =

To find the number of apples Maya has, we know that Maya has 2 times as many apples as Ally. Since Ally has 87 apples, we can find Maya's number of apples by multiplying Ally's number of apples by 2.

So, if Ally has 87 apples, then Maya has 2 * 87 = 174 apples.

Now, if Maya's sister takes some apples away, let's represent the amount of apples they have now with the variable "x". The algebraic expression representing the new amount of apples would be:

174 - x

Here, "x" represents the number of apples Maya's sister takes away.
