Question

Ten less than the square of A. 10-a^2 or a^2- 10

Answer 1

Hi!

Ten less than the square of A.

So LESS is implying subtraction, therefore the 10 needs to be subtracted FROM something, If we look at our options, B is implying that 10 is being subtracted from something, which is what we want!

Therefore our answer is a^2-10

Hope this helps!
