Answer:
We need to add first.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given description of the expression is “10 minus the sum of 2 and 3”.
Using the description, we get
Sum of 2 and 3 = (2+3)
10 minus the sum of 2 and 3 = 10-(2+3)
The given expression is
[tex]10-(2+3)[/tex]
Since the sum of 2 and 3 is subtracted from 10, therefore first we have to add 2 and 3 then we need to subtract the resulted number from 10.
[tex]10-(5)[/tex]
[tex]5[/tex]
The value of given expression is 5.
If we subtract first, then the final will be different.
[tex](10-2)+3=8+3=11\neq 5[/tex]
Hence, we need to add first.
