Question

Express the statement as an algebraic expression.

$x$divided by $5$ and subtracted from $y$ multiplied by $2$

Answer 1

Algebraic Expression :- An algebraic expression is made up of variables and numbers by performing some operations like addition, subtraction , multiplication and division etc.

$x$divided by $5=\frac{x}{5}$

And, this term is subtracted from $y=y-\frac{x}{5}$

Now, this term is multiplied by $2=\left(y-\frac{x}{5}\right)\times 2$

Hence, $\left(y-\frac{x}{5}\right)\times 2$ is the required algebraic expression.
