Question

Write an expression for the sequence of operations described below. Multiply u by t, subtract the result from v, then triple what you have. DOMT SIMPLIFY

Answer 1

`3(v - ut)`

Explanation:

You need to transform from ordinary language to a math language:

Multiply u by t:
`u.t`

Subtract the result from v:
`v - ut` (In this case, ut is after the ''-'' signed, you can deduct this when it says ''subtract the result from'')

Triple what you have:
`3(v - ut)` (meaning just a multiplication of the expression with the number 3).

Answer 2

The expression is 3(v - ut)

Explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- There are some words we can change them to mathematics symbols

# Add ⇒ +

# Subtract ⇒ -

# Multiply ⇒ ×

# Divide ⇒ ÷

- Ex:

# Add x and 6 ⇒ x + 6

# Subtract 7 from y ⇒ y - 7

# Multiply 5 by m ⇒ 5 × m = 5m

# Divide n by 2 ⇒ n ÷ 2 = n/2

* Lets solve the problem

- We want to write an expression for the sequence of operations

described below

- Multiply u by t, subtract the result from v, then triple what you have

* Lets make these operations

- Multiply u by t

∴ u × t = ut

- Subtract the result from v

- Means take ut from v, so v will come first

∵ The result is ut

∴ v - ut

- Triple what you have

∵ Triple means multiply by 3

∵ we have (v - ut)

∴ 3(v - ut)

* The expression is 3(v - ut)
