Question

Drag each number and operation to the correct location on the expression. Not all numbers and operations will be used. The teacher wrote the following expression on the board. (8-2) The teacher then told the students to take away 5 from 3 times this value. Complete the new expression.

Answer 1

To complete the new expression based on the teacher's instructions, we first need to evaluate what the initial expression (8 - 2) is equal to:

1. Calculate (8 - 2):
- 8 - 2 = 6

2. Next, according to the teacher's instruction, we need to take away 5 from 3 times this value:
- 3 times the value of (8 - 2) is 3 * 6 = 18.
- Then we take away 5: 18 - 5.

Putting it all together, the completed expression is:

**(3 * (8 - 2)) - 5**

So, the final expression is:

**(3 * 6) - 5 = 18 - 5 = 13.**
