Answer:
[tex]{\green{\boxed{\green{\huge{\boxed{\sf{FALSE}}}}}}}[/tex]
Reason:
In x + 5, the symbol is "+", so the English phrase of addition is
- More than
- Increased by
- Sum of
In the sentence, "The difference of x and 5", so the word "decreased", is NOT included in the English phrase of addition, it is part of the English phrase of SUBTRACTION. So the mathematical phrase "The difference of x and 5" is x - 5.
