Q. Lexi bought a package with t cat treats. She gave 2 of the treats to her cat. Choose the expression that shows the number of treats remaining.Choices:(A) t+2(B) 2−t(C) 2(D) t−2
Identify initial treats: Lexi starts with t treats, and she gives away 2, so we need to subtract 2 from t to find out how many are left;
Subtract 2 treats: The correct expression for the remaining treats is t minus 2, which is written as t−2;
Calculate remaining treats: So, the answer is (D)t−2;
