How would you translate '5^2 - 10 is 15' into a mathematical equation?

• 5^2 + 10 = 15

• 5^2 * 10 = 15

• 5^2 / 10 = 15

• 5^2 - 10 = 15

What does the 'is' in '5^2 - 10 is 15' translate to in a mathematical equation?

• Addition

• Subtraction

• Multiplication

• Equals

How would you translate '24 / 8 is equal to 12 - 9' into a mathematical equation?

• 24 - 8 = 12 - 9

• 24 + 8 = 12 - 9

• 24 / 8 = 12 - 9

• 24 * 8 = 12 - 9

What does the phrase 'is equal to' indicate in a mathematical equation?

• Equality

• Subtraction

• Division

• Addition

How would you translate '6 less than 19 is 10 + 3' into a mathematical equation?

• 19 - 6 = 10 + 3

• 6 + 19 = 10 + 3

• 6 - 19 = 10 + 3

• 19 + 6 = 10 + 3
