Question

The difference between a number and 2.
(Points : 1)
A.2 - x

B.2x - 2

C.2x + 2

D.x- 2

Answer 1

difference means subtraction

Answer 2

You can immediately narrow it downto A and D. I believe it would be D. Because if, for example, we say that the number is "5", then you would say the difference between 5 and 2 and do 5-2. So i think x-2 makes sense.

Answer 3

then the minuend will be the one that was mentioned first so x is the minuend
