Krista and Alexa played balloon darts in a school fair. Krista popped 6 balloons, which is 1 balloon less than Alexa. Complete the working equation that represents the number of balloons, b , that Alexa popped and solve the equation. (1 point) b − 1 = b = balloons
The correct equation that represents the number of balloons that Alexa popped is:
b - 1 = 6
To solve the equation, we need to isolate the variable b. Adding 1 to both sides of the equation, we have:
b - 1 + 1 = 6 + 1
b = 7
Therefore, Alexa popped 7 balloons.
