Question

Think of a number x. Multiply it by 3 and add 5 to the product and subtract y subsequently. Find the resulting number.

Answer 1

Answer:

3x+5-y

Step-by-step explanation:

First think of a number..x

then multiply it with 3 = 3x

then add 5 to it = 3x+5

then subtract y from the product = 3x+5-y

For example take x as 2 and y as 1

3x+5-y = 3×2+5-1 = 6+5-1 = 11-1 = 10

you can take any number inplace of 2 and 1

Answer 2

Given:

A number x is taken at random, it is multiplied by 3, and then it is added with 5, and then it is subtracted with y.

To Find:

The resulting algebraic expression.

Solution:

1. Initially a variable x is assumed as per the given data.

2. The number is now multiplied by 3,

=> New number = 3*x = 3x.

3. The number is now added with 5 with the above product,

=> New number = 3x + 5,

4. In the final step another variable y is subtracted from the new number,

=> Final number = 3x + 5 - y.

5. The resulting number is 3x + 5 - y.

Therefore, the resulting number is 3x + 5 -y.
