Which Expression represents the following algebraic statement? The product of 7 and the sum of x and 5, minus the product of 2, x, and the square of y.

7(x+5)-(2xy^2)
Or
7(x+5)-(2xy)^2

7(x+5)-(2xy^2)

that's how you would write the equation

the difference between a number and 5 is -2.

step-by-step explanation:

notice that the equation you are given has -2 (negative 2) on the right side, not 2. when you subtract 5 from a number n, you are finding the difference between the number and 5.

the difference between a number and 5 is -2.
