Question

Write the expression for the following cases:

Add $a$ and $b$ and subtract the sum from $x$

Answer 1

Here, we have to express the statement

Add $a$ and $b$ and subtract the sum from $x$ as algebraic form

So, Here Add $a$ and $b$ is $a+b$

And, subtracting the sum from $x$ means that $x-(a+b)$

Hence, Add $a$ and $b$ and subtract the sum from $x$ expressed as $x-(a+b)$.
