Question

Get the algebraic expression in the following cases using variables, constants and arithmetic operations.
Subtraction of z from y.
A) $y + z$
B) $y - z$
C) $z - y$
D) None of these

Answer 1

Hint: Here will read the given word statement twice and then will convert it in the form of a mathematical expression. We are asked to find the Subtraction of z from y.

Complete step-by-step solution:
Given that – “ Subtraction of z from y”
We know that the symbol of subtraction is ‘-’ now here we have converted the statement into an algebraic expression.
Now convert it in the form of mathematical expression: $y - z$

From the given multiple choices, option B is the correct answer.

Note: Always read the word statements twice, as it is the base and the essential part of the further solution so understand it perfectly and then convert it in the form of mathematical expressions. Remember, Constants are the terms with fixed value such as the numbers it can be positive or negative whereas the variable is terms that do not have any fixed value and are denoted by small alphabets such as x, y, z, a, b, etc.
