Answer 2

none of them are really suited for my taste. i perfer to have commas or some other punctuation to delineate, or clarify, the sentences

Answer 3

as far as interpretation of the options goes:

x minus 3 squared: x - 3^2

x less than 3 squared: 3^2 - x

The quantity 3 minus x squared: 3 - x^2

The difference of x and 3 squared: |x - 3^2| or |3^2 - x|
