Question

Type the expression that results from the following series of steps:

start with y, subtract 4, then times 9.​

Answer 1

Start with y:
`y`

Subtract 4:
`y-4`

Multiply by 9:
`9(y-4)=9y-36`

Answer 2

`9(y - 4) \\ = 9y - 36`

Explanation:

`start \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = y \\ subtract \: = y - 4 \\ times \: \: 9 \: \: \: = 9(y - 4) \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = 9y - 36`
