Express the following as an expression: subtract y form 5 A 5y B 5-y C y-5 D y / 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the statement "subtract y from 5", we are to express the statement mathematically. Expressing mathematically is as shown;

5 - y

Since we are removing the value of a variable y from 5, the variable we are subtracting will come last in the expression.  For example say, we want to subtract 5 from 10, since we are taking out 5 from 10, the value of 5 will come last in the expression i.e 10 - 5 not 5 - 10.

According to the statement in question, we can see that we are to subtract y from 5, therefore y will come last in our expression and will be expressed as 5 - y

answer is 144
