Question

Which expression is represented by the phrase "the square of y decreased by the quotient of 28 and 7?

Answer 1

B. y2- 28/7

Explanation:

It is B because by doing process of elimination it leaves A and B, when saying less than the order of operation would change but when not it goes from left to right

Answer 2

`y^(2)-4`

Explanation:

We are given the statement,

'The square of y decreased by the quotient of 28 and 7'.

i.e. Subtracting the quotient
`(28)/(7)` = 4 from
`y^(2)`.

i.e.
`y^(2)-4`

Hence, the expression which represents the given statement is
`y^(2)-4`.
