Answer:

procedure always produces 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'n' be the unknown number

Add 4 to the number : n+4

multiply the sum by 3.

multiply the sum n+4 by 3

3(n+4) is 3n+12

Now subtract 6, so we subtract 6 from 3n+12

3n+12-6=3n+6

finally decrease the difference by the tripe of the original number

triple of original number is 3n

3n+6-3n= 6

so the procedure always produces 6

morpeh [17]

Answer:

See explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

An expression is a <u>set of terms that are combined using addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division.</u> The following are examples of expressions:

2x-1

5y+8

2

Note: expressions do not equal anything.

In contrast, equations are <u>expressions that equal at least one term.</u> The following are examples of equations:

2y-4=26

4x-4=0

x=10

y=x+2

Note: equations <u>do</u> equal a term, as shown in the examples.
