Calculate colored papers: Ann's scrapbook kit has 15 fewer colored papers than white papers. The kit has 35 colored papers. To find the number of white papers, we add 15 to the number of colored papers: 35+15=50.
Find number of white papers: Now, we need to check which equation matches the story. The correct equation should show that the white papers w minus 15 equals the number of colored papers 35. So, the equation should be w−15=35.
