Accepted Solution
A:
The sentence "5 is subtracted from the square of a number" represented as an algebraic expression is: [tex]x^{2} - 5[/tex]Let the number be x.In this exercise, you're required to write an algebraic expression to represent the word problem (sentence). Also, the number would be denoted by the letter x and no need for further simplification of the algebraic expression.Translating the word problem (sentence) into an algebraic expression, we have;Square of a number (x) = [tex]x^{2}[/tex]Subtracting 5 from the the square of x, we have;[tex]x^{2} - 5[/tex]Find more information:
