Your Answer

Let c be the number of children in a car. What does 4(c - 3) represent?

12 less than the number of children in a car

7 less than the number of children in a car

4 times the number of children in another car that has 3 fewer children

3 less than 4 times the number of children in a car

Solution
12 less than the number of children in a car
c - (4 × 3)
7 less than the number of children in a car
c - (4 + 3)
4 times the number of children in another car that has 3 fewer children
4(c - 3)
3 less than 4 times the number of children in a car
4c - 3
