Advanced Math practice question
Tia has t stickers. Raj has 3 fewer stickers than twice as many as Tia. Which expression gives the number of stickers Raj has?
- A. 2t − 3Correct
- B. 3 − 2t
- C. 2(t − 3)
- D. 2t + 3
Answer: A. 2t − 3
Twice Tia's is 2t; three fewer is 2t − 3.
Why the other answers are wrong
- B. 3 − 2t
- This subtracts the wrong way.
- C. 2(t − 3)
- This doubles after subtracting 3.
- D. 2t + 3
- This adds 3 instead of subtracting.
