Answer:

18 - x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

In any equation x is the unkown you are trying to figure out.

In a word-problem-solving question its helpful to set out what you know and what you dont know:

You know the original number of pens = 18

You know the final number of pens = 6

You dont know how many pens were taken.

Therefore x is the difference between 18 and 6.

18 pens take away x pens is equal to 6

hence 18 - x =6
