Add 10 to three times the value of x minus 7.

Answer:

The required phrase is " three times the difference of x and seven plus ten

Explanation:

The given algebraic expression is


3(x-7)+10

We have to first subtract x from seven i.e. x-7 and then multiply this expression by 3 to get:


3(x-7)

The expression is added by a constant 10 i.e. we get the final expression as:


3(x-7)+10

Difference of x and seven = (x-7)

Three times difference of x and seven = 3(x-7)

Three times difference of x and seven plus ten = 3(x-7)+10.
