To solve this problem, we just need to change the described expression into a numerical one.
Our answer is 7(y-1).
This is because the difference of y and 1 refers to the operation of subtraction, and this shows us that we need to subtract 1 from the value that is represented by y. The fact that it says 7 times the difference of y and 1 shows us that we must multiply the quantity y-1 and 7 (meaning we must perform the subtraction between y and 1 before the multiplication with 7). This is what indicates to us that we need parentheses, which allow us to perform this operation first, outlined by the rules of PEMDAS referring to the order of operations.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
C. 8
Step-by-step explanation:
xy - 3x
x = 4 and y = 5
(4)*(5) - 3(4)
20 - 12 = 8
Lets do this week by week
beginning pressure 45 pounds
end of week 1
45 *.06 = 2.7
45 - 2.7 = 42.3
end of week 2
42.3 * .06 = 2.538
42.3 - 2.538 = 39.762
end of week 3
39.762 *.06 = 2.38
39.762 - 2.38 = 37.37
end of week 4
37.37* .06 = 2.2425
37.37628 - 2.2425= 35.12
end of week 5
35.12 * .06 = 2.107
35.12 - 2.107 = 33.012
end of week 6
33.012* .06 = 1.98
33.012 - 1.98 =31.03
Here is the fast way to get to this answer.
do 1-.06 = .94
then do
45(.94)(.94)(.94)(.94)(.94)(.94) = 31.04
