Answer:

Except: 25 less than 19

Explanation:

This is a case where we basically refer to the same situation just defined in a different manner. In this case the problem refers to an amount 25 that becomes less by an amount of 19. This can be expressed as follow based on the given options:

Option A: 19 less than 25

This tells us that an
x amount is 19 less than 25

(i.e.
x=25-19 )

Option B: 25 less than 19

This is Incorrect as it tells us that an
x amount is 25 less than 19

(i.e.
[x=] 25<19 thus
x=19-25 )

Option C: 19 subtracted from 25

This is the same as Option A, as it again tells as
x=25-19

Option D: 25 minus 19

This is the same as both Options A and C, as it again tells as
x=25-19
