To evaluate the expression “10 minus the sum of 2 and 3,” should you subtract or add first? explain how you know.

You will add 2 and 3 first.

Step-by-step explanation:

How you know this is based off the question. So it says 10 minus the sum of 2 and 3. Since it says sum you will add those first then minus.

We need to  add first.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given description of the expression is “10 minus the sum of 2 and 3”.

Using the description, we get

Sum of 2 and 3 = (2+3)

10 minus the sum of 2 and 3 = 10-(2+3)

The given expression is

Since the sum of 2 and 3 is subtracted from 10, therefore first we have to add 2 and 3 then we need to subtract the resulted number from 10.

The value of given expression is 5.

If we subtract first, then the final will be different.

Hence, we need to  add first.

5x+10 is the correct one
