Hi there!

We're asked to write the expression for the following:

  • "22 more than a number squared decreased by 12"

First, I'll choose a letter to represent the number. Let g be our number.

The next step is to square g:

Then, decrease it by 12: g - 12

Then, add 22: (g - 12) + 22

Therefore, the expression is (g - 12) + 22.

Answer:

22 + x^2 - 12

Explanation:

x^2: This part represents "a number squared."

22 + x^2: This represents "22 more than a number squared."

22 + x^2 - 12: Finally, this whole expression represents "22 more than a number squared decreased by 12."
