Question
Write the equation for the statement: $2$ subtracted from y is $8.$
✓
Answer
Clearly, $2$ subtracted from y can be written as $y - 2.$
Now this difference equals $8$, therefore
$y - 2 = 8$
Thus, the required equation is $y - 2 = 8.$
Now this difference equals $8$, therefore
$y - 2 = 8$
Thus, the required equation is $y - 2 = 8.$
