Answer:

C. 26-4

Explanation:

Another way of saying "4 less than 26" is "26 with 4 less" or "26 with 4 taken away". This is written mathematically like "26-4".

The option you marked, "4-26", is actually "26 less than 4".

With these questions, it might be helpful to think about what number he expression evaluates to. For instance what number is actually "4 less than 26"? It's 22, because 22 is 4 numbers less than 26.

So our expression needs to equal 22, and 26-4 = 22 but 4-26= -22.
