Question

Translate the sentence into a mathematical expression:"seven decreased by the difference of ten and five"

Answer 1

First, let's translate the sentence "difference of ten and five":

`10-5`

Now, we need to write the number 7 decreased by this expression, so the result is:

`7-(10-5)`

The parenthesis is important in this case to indicate that the first operation that should be done is the difference of 10 and 5, and only then we need to calculate 7 decreased by the resulting value.
