So, if I asked you to write out 35 subtracted by 10, you would write 35 - 10. Assign any number as your variable and do the same.
 
n - 10

Strange nomenclature! "A number subtracted" would be -n.
IMHO the phrase should be "A number minus 10."

Well, it's not. A number subtracted from 10 would be 10 - n.
