Sure, let's solve the problem step-by-step.
1. First, we need to find the difference between 15 and 8.
- Subtract 8 from 15:
[tex]\[ 15 - 8 = 7 \][/tex]
2. Next, we add this difference to 3.
- Add 3 to the difference (which is 7 from the last step):
[tex]\[ 7 + 3 = 10 \][/tex]
So the detailed step-by-step solution is as follows:
a) The difference between 15 and 8 is 7.
b) Adding this difference (7) to 3 gives us 10.
Thus, the final answers are:
- The difference of 15 and 8 is 7.
- Adding this difference to 3 results in 10.
