Question

3 subtracted from a number y.​

Answer 1

Answer:

3(y - 7) ≤ 12

3(y - 7) ≤ 12

Step-by-step explanation:

7 is subtracted from a number y. Then the result is multiplied by 3. The final answer is less than or equal to 12

Answer 2

Answer: 3 subtracted from a number y is $y-3$.

Explanation:

• Let an unknown number be y.

        If 3 is subtracted from y, the number becomes $y - 3$

• Now, if the number y is a two digit number, then the number might be of the form $10x+z$.

        Now, 3 subtracted from this number will be $10x+z-3$

        Again y might also be a three digit number, so on and so forth.

Hence, 3 subtracted from a number y is $y-3$.
