Mathematical Expressions: x is 4 less than y, etc.

[deecarney4]

1) The variable x is 4 less than the variable y.

2) If the variable t is multiplied by 5, the result is equal to the variable R

3) If 3 is subtracted from the product of the variables x and y, the result is equal to 4 times the variable z.

4) The quotient of the variable x with the variable y is 2 more than 0.7 of the variable z.

The variable x is 4 less than the variable y.

If the variable t is multiplied by 5, the result is equal to the variable R

If 3 is subtracted from the product of the variables x and y, the result is equal to 4 times the variable z.


The quotient of the variable x with the variable y is 2 more than 0.7 of the variable z.

Where is your work?

We can do a much better job of helping you if you show us what your thinking is on each of these.

One thing you might want to do is review the meaning of the terms. To get an amount LESS THAN some number, you'd subtract. "product" means the result of a multiplication. "quotient" means the result of a division.

Show us what you've tried!
