Question

Jolie uses 2 tomatoes every day to prepare her salad. If n equals the number of tomatoes Jolie had before she made her salad and c equals the number of tomatoes left after the salad is made, which equation represents the number of tomatoes Jolie has after she made her salad? c = 2 − n c = n − 2 n = c − 2 n = 2 − c

Answer 1

c = n − 2

Step-By-Step Explanation: I got it right on a test

Answer 2

c = n − 2

Explanation:

n is what she has before making the salad. It takes 2 tomatoes to make the salad, so subtract 2 from n and you are left with "c", or the number of tomatoes left after making the salad. So, n - 2 = c or you can flip it to be c = n - 2
