Laura has 45 buttons. She gives away b buttons. Write an expression that shows the number of buttons Laura has left.

Type an asterisk ( * ) if you want to use a multiplication sign and a slash ( / ) if you want to use a division sign.

Giving away indicates subtraction. Therefore, the expression is 45 - b.
