Please drag and drop the selected option in the right place or type it instead
550 minus h
7 decreased by j
18 less than w
The difference of 23 and P
M reduced by x
5 less f
12 subtracted from L
Correct Answer
(1) The difference of 23 and P
(2) 550 minus h
(3) 18 less than w
(4) 7 decreased by j
(5) M reduced by x
(6) 12 subtracted from L
(7) 5 less f
Explanation
Caution
Be careful when translating subtraction. Order is important. For example, when a translation involves the phrase less than, note how the terms are reversed
18 less than w → w - 18 (w came first in algebraic expression because of the subtraction)
