Question

Write a expression that represents the difference of y and 32 , plus the product of y and 4  

Answer 1

Lets break down the problem into bits and pieces then put them together. So when we say difference, we usually mean subtract so when we say the difference of y and 32, it means y - 32. Next, let's look at when we say the product of y and 4. When we say product, we would mean multiplication. So the result of that will be 4y. After that, the problem says we should add the two expressions. So the whole expression will be (y-32) + 4y. 

Answer 2

The difference of y and 32 is y-32.

The product of y and 4 is y*4, or 4y.

(y -32)+ 4y

The final answer is (y -32)+ 4y~
