Answer 1

D. (8 x 5) - (8 + 7)

Explanation:

Evaluate the word problem.

The difference (we will be subtracting.) between the product of 8 and 5 (8 * 5) and the sum of 8 and 7 (8 + 7)?

So set it up.

(8 * 5) - (8 + 7)

This is the correct answer because we are taking the difference of the product of 8 and 5 and the sum of 8 and 7.
