Question 96654: "What is the number of slices of pizza left from an 8-slice pizza after you have eaten some slices?". i need an expression for this word problem please. Answer by ptaylor(2198) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let x=number of slices eaten--------ok
Then it follows that 8-x=number of slices left
x=0, then 8 slices are left
x=1, then 7 slices left
x=2, then 6 slices left
etc.
Hope this helps---ptaylor
