Question

If x is equal to 41 and y is equal to 3, then what is the value of x-9y?

Answer 1

To find the value of this expression we substitute `color(red)(41)` for `color(red)(x)` and `color(blue)(3)` for `color(blue)(y)` in the expression and do the math. Therefore

`color(red)(x) - 9color(blue)(y)` becomes:

`color(red)(41) - (9 xx color(blue)(3)) = color(red)(41) - 27 = 14`
