To determine which phrase best describes the expression, we need to identify what "the expression" is. However, it seems there is no clear expression given in your query.
Let’s analyze each option based on typical mathematical interpretations:
A. 4 minus the quantity of 7 times a number:
- In mathematical notation, this would be written as \( 4 - 7x \), where \( x \) is the number.
B. The quantity of a number minus 7 times 4:
- This would be interpreted as \( x - 28 \) (since \( 7 \times 4 = 28 \)).
C. 4 times a number decreased by 7:
- This can be expressed as \( 4x - 7 \).
D. 7 decreased by 4 times a number:
- This would mean \( 7 - 4x \).
To identify the corresponding phrase for your expression, please provide the expression you are referring to. Once I have that, I will be able to tell you which option (A, B, C, or D) is the correct description.
