Question

Express the given statement, "the product of 6 and 2 is subtracted from the product of 5 and 3", as a mathematical expression.

• A. $(5\times 3)-(6\times 2)$
• B. $(6\times 2)-(5\times 3)$
• C. $(6\times 3)-(5\times 2)$
• D. $(5\times 2)-(6\times 3)$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $(5\times 3)-(6\times 2)$

$\text{Product of 6 and 2}=6\times 2$
$\text{Product of 5 and 3}=5\times 3$

$\therefore \text{The product of 6 and 2 subtracted}\text{from the product of 5 and 3 is :}(5\times 3)-(6\times 2)$
