Q:

Kate had 50 tickets to use for rides at the fair. She lost some of them. Her dad doubled the tickets she had left. Kate wrote the expression 2(50−t) to find the number of tickets she has now, where t is the number of tickets she lost. Jack correctly wrote another expression, 100−2t , to find the number of tickets Kate has now. Use the drop-down menus to explain what each part of Kate's and Jack's expressions mean. Kate's Expression: 2(50−t)2:50: t: 50−t:Jack's Expression: 100−2t100:t:2t:100−2t: thats what I need answered
