Question

Kiran wrote the expression x-10 for this number puzzle: "Pick a number, add -2, and multiply by 5."

Answer 1

Answer:

If you pick the number 2, you will get (2) - 10 = 8

But the way he said it, it would be:  (2) - 2 * 5 = 0

The correct way would be to write the expression:  (x - 3) * 5
