Answer 1

the answer to 7 times z reduced by a third of the product is 2z

Answer 2

7 times z reduced by a third of the product is
`-(14z)/(3)`.

Explanation:

Given : Expression 7 times z reduced by a third of the product.

To find : What is the expression ?

Solution :

7 times z is written as 7z.

A third of the product is written as
`(1)/(3)(7z)`.

7 times z reduced by a third of the product is given by,

`(1)/(3)(7z)-7z`

`=(7z)/(3)-7z`

`=(7z-21z)/(3)`

`=(-14z)/(3)`

Therefore, 7 times z reduced by a third of the product is
`-(14z)/(3)`.
