A language model is presented with the following problem: "Jack has 7 apples. He ate 2 of them for dinner, but then his mom gave him 5 more apples. The next day, Jack gave 3 apples to his friend John. How many apples does Jack have left in the end?" The model processes the problem and performs the calculation
(7 + 5) - 2 - 3, arriving at the correct final answer of 7.
