Question

(14+3)–7 = N

Perform the indicated operations.

Answer 1

The solution to the mathematical expression (14+3)–7 is to first add 14 and 3 to get 17, then subtract 7 from 17, yielding an N value of 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

To perform the indicated operations in the mathematical expression (14+3)–7 = N, we first need to carry out the operation inside the parentheses. Adding 14 and 3 gives us 17. Subsequently, we subtract 7 from 17 to find the value of N.

Step one: Compute the sum of 14 and 3:

• 
  
• 14 + 3 = 17

Step two: Subtract 7 from the result obtained in step one:

• 
  
• 17 – 7 = 10

Therefore, the value of N is 10.

To eliminate terms wherever possible simplifies the algebra and checking the answer ensures that it is reasonable.
