Write a numerical expression for each verbal phrase.
the number of apples left if eight out of the sixteen apples have been sold
a.8+16
b. 16-8
c.16+8
d.8-16

Option B. 16-8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

z > the number of apple left

x > the total number of apples

y > the number of apples sold

we know that

The numerical expression of the phrase " the number of apples left if eight out of the sixteen apples have been sold" is equal to subtract the number of apples sold from the total number of apples

so

z=x-y

we have

x=16 apples

y=8 apples

substitute

z=16-8

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !

$450 i think. hope this ☺
