@NessaCox  For the equation it would look like this....
Your trying to write a equation to find what he got on his other math test
86-18=T
where T=the other test

anonymous · Answer

well i guess u could say 86-18= 68 u still get the same answer

anonymous · Answer

Scored 18 higher...so just subtract from the 86 to get the previous test's score. = (68)
