#x - (U xx V)#

Let's rewrite this into an equation. First, what does "product of #U# and #V#" mean? it means the answer when you multiply #U# by #V#

So we have #U xx V#. What else do we need?

Well, we know there's some subtraction between #U xx V# and #x#, but who's subtracting who?

"subtract #U xx V# from #x#"

So it's #x - (U xx V)#
