Justin had $31 before spending q dollars on jeans. how much money remains? (translate phrase to an algebraic expression)

What is 31-q?

Hi Bob,

That is the question. It is asking for the translation from this phrase to an algeraic expression. I'm unsure how to do this.

To translate the given phrase into an algebraic expression, we can use the information provided.

Let's denote the amount of money Justin had before spending as $31. The amount spent on jeans is represented by the variable "q".

Therefore, the algebraic expression can be written as: 31 - q

This expression represents the initial amount of money Justin had ($31) minus the amount spent on jeans (q).

To calculate the amount of money that remains, you would substitute a specific value for q and simplify the expression accordingly.
