To find the algebraic expression for the subtraction of z from y, we need to represent this operation mathematically.

Identifying the Correct Expression

The phrase "subtraction of z from y" means we take y and subtract z from it. This can be expressed as:

  • y - z: This indicates that z is being subtracted from y.
  • y + z would imply adding z to y, which is incorrect.
  • z - y would mean subtracting y from z, which is also not what we want.
  • None of these does not apply since we have a valid option.

Final Answer

The correct algebraic expression is y - z, which corresponds to option B.
