translation:
23 less than d
is it 23 - d
or -23d
Neither.
d - 23
Does that make sense to you?
ok yes it does I didn't take in effect less than so it is d -23
Thank you
To determine the correct translation for the expression "23 less than d," we need to understand the structure of the phrase.
"Less than" typically indicates subtraction. Whenever an expression mentions subtraction, we subtract the second number from the first.
In this case, we have 23 less than d. The word "than" indicates that d is the larger number. Therefore, we subtract 23 from d.
So the correct translation is d - 23, not -23d.
