james had 4 apples and ate 2 how many does he have now
Depends, did he pick any?
If so you can model this equation by y = x + 2
Where y is the total apples he has now, and x is the amount he picked.
James has 2 apples. The equation would be 4 - 2 because James ate 2 of the apples he had. I hoped I helped :)
Spawnofangel, were u just trying to confuse them:)?
James STILL has 4 apples....two in his hands (I assume) and two in his tummy
