All but 6 students in the club went on the field trip. Write an expression for the number of students on the field trip.

Do I add, subtract, or multiply?

Number of students who went on the field trip = N - 6.

We subtract 6 from the total number of students to get the number of students who went on the field trip.

Step-by-step explanation:

i) let the number of students in the club be = N

ii) If all but 6 students went on the trip then to we can write an expression for the number of students on the field trip by subtracting 6 from N. Therefore we can write the expression as

number of students who went on the field trip = N - 6
