My mom and I don't agree on the answer to this problem

10x10-5x10
I say 995
Mom says 50
Please help.

10x10-5x10
100-50
50

If you show me your work I can show you your error. I am not sure if x stands for the variable or multiplication. If multiplication your mother is correct.

thanks for your help

no problem

its 50 i think u did 10x10=100-5=95x10=995 but u really want to do (10x10)-(5x10)=50

If the problem is
(10*10)-(5*10) the answer is
100-50=50

i think ists 30!!

I'm sorry, but that is incorrect. Let's break it down step by step. The expression is (10 * 10) - (5 * 10).

First, we perform the multiplication in each part of the expression.
10 * 10 equals 100, and 5 * 10 equals 50.
So, the expression becomes 100 - 50.

Now, we can subtract 50 from 100:
100 - 50 equals 50.

Therefore, the correct answer is 50, not 30.
