Which equation matches the statement ñThe product of 3 and the difference of a number and 10 is 15?"

A) 3 + (x _ 10) = 15
B) 3x _ 10 = 15
C) 3 (x _ 10) = 15
B) 3x/10 = 15
Help Please :-) Thanks BTW!

Respuesta :

Go by parts:

the product of 3 and the difference of a number and 10

   -> the difference of a number and 10: x - 10
   -> the product of 3 and the amount written above: 3(x - 10)

... matches 15

   -> 3(x - 10) = 15

That is option C.
