Select the statement that describes the expression 7 + (one fifth x 18 − 3).

A) 7 more than the product of one fifth and 18 minus 3
B) 7 times one fifth of the difference of 18 and 3
C) 7 more than the difference of one fifth and 18 minus 3
D) 7 times one fifth, then multiply by the difference of 18 and 3

 A) 7 more than the product of one fifth and 18 minus 3

Step-by-step explanation:

B and D can not be the answers, because "7 +" means that is 7 more than, it's not timing, if it's time it will be a different expression.

The expression of B would be 7 x one fifth(18 - 3)

And D would be 7 x one fifth x (18 - 3)

So there is only A and C left.

For c, it's the difference of one fifth and 18, which means that is one fifth - 18. It didn't fit the expression, so the answer would be A.  

We check A, we get 7 + (one fifth x 18 - 3)
