Write an expression for the sequence of operations described below.

multiply 10 by q, subtract the result from r, then add what you have to 3
Do not simplify any part of the expression.

1 answer

The sequence of operations can be expressed as follows:

  1. Multiply 10 by \( q \): \( 10q \)
  2. Subtract the result from \( r \): \( r - 10q \)
  3. Add this result to 3: \( (r - 10q) + 3 \)

Putting it all together, the expression is:

\[ (r - 10q) + 3 \]
