Answer 2

QUESTION:

The correct question should be:

The algebraic expression for '4 times x taken away from one-third of y' is written as _____.

ANSWER:

The algebraic expression for '4 times x taken away from one-third of y' is written as $\frac{1}{3} y-4x$.

Given,

Statement:

'4 times x taken away from one-third of y'.

To find,

An algebraic expression for the statement.

Solution,

Here, firstly, the statement says '4 times x'.

The word 'times' is used to express the product or multiplication of one number with another.

So, 4 times x will be

$=4x$

Now, the second part of the statement says one-third of y.

It will be

$=\frac{1}{3} y$

Here, it is given to take away (4x) from one-third of y.

This means we have to subtract $4x$ from $\frac{1}{3} y$.

That is,

$\frac{1}{3} y-4x$, which is the required expression.

Therefore, the algebraic expression for '4 times x taken away from one-third of y' is written as $\frac{1}{3} y-4x$.
