There are 15 violinists in the orchestra this year. Next year, two violinists will leave and some new violinists will join the orchestra. If v is the number of violinists who will join the orchestra, which expression(s) represent the number of violinists in the orchestra next year.
The expression that represents the number of violinists in the orchestra next year is 15 - 2 + v.
To find the number of violinists in the orchestra next year, we need to subtract the number of violinists who leave (2) from the current number of violinists (15), and then add the number of new violinists joining (v).
The expression to represent the number of violinists in the orchestra next year would be: 15 - 2 + v.
