Answer 1

Answer:

Option E

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's check

• Difference of b-2
• It has multiplied with 7

So the expression becomes 7(b-2)

Answer 2

Solution:

Let's verify each option to see which is correct.

Option A

Two subtracted from the quotient of seven divided by b.

• => 7/b - 2 = 7(b - 2)                                                                [False]

Option B

Seven added to difference of b minus two.

• => 7 + (b - 2) = 7(b - 2)                                                           [False]

Option C

The quotient of seven divided by b minus two.

• => 7/b - 2 = 7(b - 2)                                                               [False]

Option D

Two subtracted from seven times b

• => 7b - 2 = 7(b - 2)                                                                [False]

Option E

The product of seven and the difference of b minus two

• => 7 x (b - 2) = 7(b - 2) = 7(b - 2)                                           [True]

Option E is correct.
