Answer 1

Answer:

Option B)

y to the $2^{nd}$ power - $\frac{28}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

"the square of y decreased by the quotient of 28 and 7"

We can write this in the form of expression as:

$y^2 - \dfrac{28}{7}\\\\=y^2 - 4$

Thus, the correct expression is given by

Option B)

y to the $2^{nd}$ power - $\frac{28}{7}$
