Practice
Problem 1
6 apples are in the basket.
Tyler adds some more apples to the basket.
Now there are 8 apples in the basket.
How many apples did Tyler add to the basket?
Select 2 equations that match the story.
- \(6 + \boxed{\phantom{2}} = 8\)
- \(6 + 8 = \boxed{\phantom{6}}\)
- \(8 - 6 = \boxed{\phantom{2}}\)
- \(14 - 8 = \boxed{\phantom{6}}\)
Problem 2
7 candles are on the cake.
10 candles are in the box.
How many fewer candles are on the cake than in the box?
Circle the 2 equations that match the story.
\(10 + 7 = \boxed{\phantom{17}}\)
\(10 - 7 = \boxed{\phantom{3}}\)
\(7 + \boxed{\phantom{3}} = 10\)
\(7 - 10 = \boxed{\phantom{3}}\)

7 cars are in the parking lot.
Then 5 of the cars drive away.
