Question:
Write the algebraic expression that coresponds to five times the difference of a number and 12.________________.

Answer:
Lets assume that the number is 'x'
The difference of the number, x and 12 can be written as, x-12

five times the difference of a number and 12 can be written as, 5(x -12)

Which is the required answer.

Hope you found it useful.
