Translate into words please 5(4 - x) - 11

OpenStudy (compassionate):

Five times four minus x, subtract eleven

OpenStudy (keyonsay):

thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

actually @Compassionate that could be read as (5*4-x)-11. It may be better to write it as five minus the expression four minus x, subtract eleven.

OpenStudy (compassionate):

It is assumed that five is already being multiplied by the expression 4-x. You could also write it that way, though the word, "expression," or, "terms," isn't used when writing equations.

OpenStudy (compassionate):

Maybe: Five times four, five times minus x, subtract 11.
