translate the phase to an alegebraic expression;
John has $30.00 before spending N dollars on food how much money remains?
30 - N =
30 - N
do not use an = sign. it must remain an algebraic *expression* which does not contain an = sign, as you cannot draw an actual answer.
To translate the statement into an algebraic expression, we need to identify the quantities and variables involved.
Let's denote the amount of money John has initially as "P" (in dollars) and the amount of money he spends on food as "N" (in dollars). We want to find the amount of money remaining, which we can represent as "R" (in dollars).
Given that John has $30.00 before spending N dollars on food, we can express it as:
P = $30.00
To find the amount of money remaining, we subtract the amount spent (N) from the initial amount (P). Therefore, the algebraic expression is:
R = P - N
Substituting the given values, the algebraic expression becomes:
R = $30.00 - N
So, the algebraic expression representing the money remaining is R = $30.00 - N.
