Hey there :)
Before translating the sentence into mathematics, let r represent 'a number'
5 times a number = 5r
2 times that number = 2r
The difference between them = 5r - 2r
* Your equation
5r - 2r
* Solving the equation
= 5r - 2r
= 3r
The answer is: [D]: "Subtract 5 from 10" .

Explanation:
____________________________________
Use the correct order of operations, according to the mnemonic:
"PE MD AS".
The "P" stands for "parentheses", which takes top (first priority); and there are values in parentheses in this expression—specifically, the "(10 - 5)" . So the first step is to "subtract 5 from 10" —which is: "Answer choice: [D]".
Your error was starting at the beginning of the problem; and not using the "order of operations".

60% = 0.6 = 3/5
25.5% = 0.255 = 51/200
90% = 0.9 = 9/10
33 1/3 = 0.3333 =
62.5% = 0.625 = 5/8
7.5% = 0.07 = 7/100
Answer:
1020 students
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the trend line equation :
y = 0.1x + 18,
where y is the total number of staff members and x is the total number of students.
Using the equation, the predicted number of students in a school with 120 staffs ;
y = 120
y = 0.1x + 18
120 = 0.1x + 18
120 - 18 = 0.1x
102 = 0.1x
x = 102 / 0.1
= 1020 students
