Question

Write an expression for the calculation 4 times the difference of 10 and 8 minus 3

Answer 1

4×(10-8-3)

I put parentheses between 10, 8, and 3, because, if you are using PEMDAS, or the order of operations, multiplication would come first. But if, you need to do the subtraction first, leave the parentheses.

Answer 2

Answer: The required expression is
`E=4\{(10-8)-3\}.`

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to write the expression for the following :

"4 times the difference of 10 and 8 minus 3".

The difference of 10 and 8 can be written as (10 - 8).

Therefore, the expression 4 times the difference of 10 and 8 minus 3 is given by

`E=4*\{(10-8)-3\}\\\\\Rightarrow E=4\{(10-8)-3\}.`

Thus, the required expression is
`E=4\{(10-8)-3\}.`
