Step-by-step explanation:

As you can observe, the expression two terms which are subtracting. However, it's important to pay attention to the right order of the subtraction. Notice that from a number is being subtracted seven units, so the choice we are looking for has to have the wrong order of the subtraction.

SO, option B has the wrong order of the operation, because states "a number subtracted from 7" which means which is not the case.

Therefore, the right answer here is B.

step-by-step explanation:

y = | -2(-2) |     →     y = | 4 |     →     y = 4       ⇒   (-2, 4)

y = | -2(-1) |     →     y = | 2 |     →       y =   2       ⇒   (-1, 2)    

y = | -2(0) |     →     y = | 0 |     →       y = 0         ⇒   (0, 0)

y = | -2(1) |   c →     y = | -2 |     →     y =   2         ⇒   (1, 2)    

y = | -2(2) |     →     y = | - 4 |     →     y =   4         ⇒   (2, 4)
