Write a word problem that can be represented by the following equation: 4 – x = 12.
If 16 kids are playing with a ball and 4 kids decides to go home, how many kids are still playing ball?
Also you should try to think before asking someone else about these things. For all you know you could've had the correct answer.
Sure! Here's a word problem that can be represented by the equation 4 - x = 12:
Let's say you have 4 marbles and someone takes away some marbles from you. After the subtraction, you are left with 12 marbles.
To find out how many marbles were taken away, we represent it as "x". So, the equation would be 4 - x = 12.
