Let us convert the given word expression into a numerical format by deriving each term and its operation.
The operation of multiplication or 'x' in words is 'times'.
Eight times of a number b is denoted by 8xb = 8b.
Ten times of a number c is denoted by 10xc = 10c.
The operation of subtraction is denoted by ' - '.
Since we are subtracting eight times the number b from ten times the number c, we will write the term 10c first and then place the operation sign (of subtraction), which is followed by the next term 10c.
