Question

Write an equation that is 10 less than 3 times a number y, multiplied by 2 and divided by 4. (10 less than 3 times a number y is to be done first)

Answer 1

`\displaystyle (2(3y - 10))/(4)`

Explanation:

10 less than 3 times y.

The variable y is multiplied by 3, 10 is subtracted from 3 × y.

The result 3y - 10 is then multiplied by 2.

2(3y - 10) is then divided by 4.

Answer 2

Answer: (3y - 10)*2÷4

Explanation:

Because 10 less than 3 times a number, y, is done first, it is in parenthesis. The 3 is there to represent the "three times" and the -10 is there to represent the "ten less". The *2 is there to represent the "multiplied by two" and the ÷4 is there to represent the "divided by 4"
