To represent the statement "add S and 2 then subtract 4" as a mathematical expression, you would perform the following steps:
1. Add \( S \) and 2: \( S + 2 \)
2. Then subtract 4: \( (S + 2) - 4 \)
Putting it all together, the expression is:
\[ S + 2 - 4 \]
You can also simplify this expression to:
\[ S - 2 \]
So, the final expression that matches the statement is \( S - 2 \).
