Question

write an expression to match each description.
the difference of y and 2
$y - 2$
one - half of the difference of y and 2

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the difference

The difference of \( y \) and \( 2 \) is \( (y - 2) \).

Step2: Take one - half of it

To find one - half of the difference, we multiply the difference \( (y - 2) \) by \( \frac{1}{2} \). So the expression is \( \frac{1}{2}\times(y - 2) \) or \( \frac{1}{2}(y - 2) \).

Answer:

\(\frac{1}{2}(y - 2)\)
