Given the sentence:
A number subtracted from -70 amounts to 113.
Let's find the equation that represents this sentence.
Let x represent the unknown number.
The sentence given means that result when x is subtracted from -70 is 113.
We have the following:
• x subtracted from -70 ==> -,70 - x
,
• x subtracted from -70 amounts to 113 ==> ,-70 - x = 113
Thus, we have the equation:
-70 - x = 113
Therefore the equation that represents the sentence is:
-70 - x = 113
ANSWER:
-70 - x = 113
