Subtract 7 from 17 Blocks: Visual Mathematics Problem

If we have 17 blocks and we remove 7 blocks, how many blocks will remain

To solve this problem, we will use simple subtraction, following these steps:

• Step 1: Identify the initial quantity of blocks, which is 17.

• Step 2: Identify the quantity to be removed, which is 7 blocks.

• Step 3: Perform the subtraction to find the remaining quantity of blocks:

$\begin{aligned} \text{Initial quantity} & = 17 \\ \text{Blocks removed} & = 7 \\ \text{Remaining quantity} & = 17 - 7 \end{aligned}$

By calculating $17 - 7$, we find that the remaining quantity is $10$.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $10$.
