1 answer

To translate the situation "17 more than the difference of 25 and 13" into a numeric expression, we can break it down:

  1. First, find the difference of 25 and 13:
    \( 25 - 13 \)

  2. Then, since we want 17 more than that difference, we add 17:
    \( (25 - 13) + 17 \)

Putting this together, the numeric expression is: \[ (25 - 13) + 17 \]
