Question

write the sentence as an equation.
q fewer than 35 is the same as 397
type a slash ( / ) if you want to use a division sign.

Explanation:

Step1: Understand "q fewer than 35"

"q fewer than 35" means we subtract q from 35, so it is $35 - q$.

Step2: Set equal to 397

The phrase "is the same as 397" means we set the expression from Step 1 equal to 397. So the equation is $35 - q = 397$.

Answer:

$35 - q = 397$
