Question

2) The expression for the statement : the sum of 'g' and 'h' subtracted from the product of 'a' and 'b' *

Answer 1

Answer:

g + h - ab

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the question.

We can break the question into 3 different parts-

a) 'The sum of g and h'

b) 'Subtracted from the'

c) 'The product of a and b'

Look at the first part.

'The sum of g and h'

This means that 2 numbers, g and h are added.

So, we found out the first part of the equation, i.e.,

g + h

Look at the third part. [The second part is not to be applied now]

'The product of a and b'

This means that 2 more numbers, a and b have been multiplied to produce a product. This product is = a × b

                                                          = ab

Now we can look at the second part.

'Subtracted from the'

This means that according to the question, the sum of g and h, i.e., g + h, has been subtracted from the product of a and b, i.e., ab.

We will finally get our expression as:

g + h - ab
