Solution

The correct equation that matches the story problem is: 750 - (25 * 8) = x.

Here's the step by step explanation:

  1. The company starts with 750 sheets of metal.
  2. It uses 25 sheets a day for 8 days. So, the total sheets used is 25 * 8 = 200 sheets.
  3. To find out how many sheets are left, we subtract the number of sheets used from the total number of sheets. So, the equation is 750 - 200 = x.
