Hello help please and thanks

Write an equation to represent the following statement.

is less than .

Solve for .

48

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First, make the statement into an equation:

33 is 15 less than k.

"is" usually means "equal to"

"less than" means "subtraction, or minus"

So, to change it, we can make it like this:

33 equals 15 subtracted from k

Now, just make it into an equation:

33 equals 15 subtracted from k ⇒

(since we are subtracting 15 from whatever k is, we put k first.

Your equation is

Now, solve.

To solve, we are going to reverse it, and instead of subtracting 15 from k, we are going to add 15 to 33.

So, our equation will look like this:

Now, just add 33 and 15 to find k.

Hope this helps! Please let me know if you need more help, or if you think my answer is incorrect. Brainliest would be MUCH appreciated. Have a great day!
