what is the algebraic expression for 19 decreased by a number

19-x

Where "x" is the number that 19 is being decreased by.

Your main number is 19. So that would be your first number in the problem. Decreased means subtraction. "X" is the variable it is decreased by (the number). So 19-X would be your correct answer. If you are still confused, let me know. I will gladly help guide you through whatever you're stuck on.
