Write a verbal statement for the given expression/equation.
1) 5−8=14
2) 13+7=5

- <u>Five minus eight is equal to fourteen.</u>
- <u>Thirteen plus seven is equal to five.</u>
⇨ To do this, you need to look at the equation first. Then break down your equation to verbal forms, join them & create the statement.
For example,

Here, we should break down this equation to ⇨ <em>2, +, 2, =, 4.</em> Now, we should write them verbally ⇨ <em>two, plus, two, equals to, four.</em> Lastly, we must join them, so now our verbal statement will become ⇨ <em>Two plus two is equal to four.</em>
