Question

no matter how much soup marta makes, she always freezes 32 ounces to save for later, then serves whats left. let x equal the amount of soup marta makes, in ounces. write an expression to show the amount of soup marta has left.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the total and the amount removed

Marta makes \( x \) ounces of soup and freezes 32 ounces. So we need to subtract the frozen amount from the total.

Step2: Form the expression

The amount left is total soup minus frozen soup, so the expression is \( x - 32 \).

Answer:

\( x - 32 \)
