就是这道，我算不出答案。

It's this one, I can't work out the answer.

小明有十个苹果，吃了三个，还剩几个？
Xiǎomíng yǒu shí gè píngguǒ, chī le sān gè, hái shèng jǐ gè?
Xiaoming has ten apples, ate three, how many are left?
W
很简单，十减三等于几呢？
hěn jiǎndān, shí jiǎn sān děngyú jǐ ne?
It's easy—ten minus three equals what?

我知道了，等于七！还剩七个苹果。
wǒ zhīdào le, děngyú qī! hái shèng qī gè píngguǒ.
I get it, it's seven! There are seven apples left.

对了！你真棒，自己算出来了。
duì le! nǐ zhēn bàng, zìjǐ suàn chūlái le.
That's right! You're great, you worked it out yourself.
