Answer 6

@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

Answer 7

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

Answer 8

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