I don't know what your choices are, but if the number is x, I would expect to see
|x-54|
Which algebraic expression represents “the difference of 54 and a number”?
4 answers
x-54
go with that, although x-54 does not acknowledge that x could be less than 54.
In that case the difference would be a negative number, that is why I placed absolute value signs around the x-54

Probably talking about Edgenuity and if thats the case then the choices would be 54-n, 54/n, 54n, and 54+n i think 54-n
