SOLUTION:
Step 1:
In this question, we are meant to:
Translate the following word phrases to an algebraic expression and simplify:
“8 times the difference of 6 times a number and 3”
Step 2:
Assuming the unknown number be y, we have that:

CONCLUSION:
The final answer is:

Answer:
in this form, the "-r" would cause the result to decrease
I assume that the answer is "r"
if r = .1 (10 %) then 1-.1 = .9
if you have 100 items then y = 100(.9)^1 = 90
the total decreased by 10% ... y = 100(.9)^2 after 2 time periods
Step-by-step explanation:
97 rounds up to 100
78 rounds up to 80
100x80= 8,000
estimate=8,000
97x78=7,566
product=7,566
