Answer:

10(32 - n)

Explanation:

This is a beginning algebra question. It is trying to find out if you know what a difference is.

A difference always means subtract in math. Always. There are no exceptions.

So the difference between 32 and n is 32 - n

This difference is multiplied by 10

10(32 - n)

Usually the number mentioned first is the number put to the left of the subtract sign.

If you tell me the answer is 10(n - 32) then you should say that it is the difference between n and 32.
