    The correct answer is the third choice, z = x - 1.5

    Step-by-step explanation:

    x is the number of tomatoes she has before making the salad.

    She uses 1.5 tomato to make a salad.

    That means you need to subtract 1.5 tomatoes from the original number of tomatoes, x.

    The number of tomatoes after making the salad is x - 1.5

    We are told that the number of tomatoes left after making the salad is z, so z musty equal x - 1.5

    z = x - 1.5

    The correct answer is the third choice.
