Steve had 48 chocolates but decided to give 8 chocolates to each of his coworkers. How many chocolates does Steve have left? Write your answer as an expression.

y = 48 - (8x)

Step-by-step explanation:

x = unknown number of coworkers

y = number of chocolates left over

y = 48 - (8x)

Example: If you were to plug in the number 5 for x:

y = 48 - (8(5))

y = 48 - 40

y = 8
