Verified Answer :

The answer is 5 because I used an example to get my answer. The example I used was "Anna had 12 slices of apples, and she ate 7 slices. How many slices she have left?" That is my example to help for my answer. Another way is to draw 12 things, like pieces of candy, and cross out 7 pieces of candy, then count how many pieces of candy I haven't cross out.

For this case we have the following subtraction:


\(12-7
\)

We can rewrite the subtraction in an easier way.

We have then:

\(12-7 = 12 - (5 + 2)
\)

Then, by doing associative property we have:

\(12 - (5 + 2) = (12-2) - 5

(12-2) - 5 = 10 - 5

10 - 5 = 5
\)

Answer:

The value of the subtraction is given by:

\(12-7 = 5\)
