Question

Form an algebraic expression: $y$ is multiplied by $4$ and then $25$ is subtracted from the product.

• A. $4x-25$
• B. $4y+25$
• C. $4y-25$
• D. $25y-4$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $4y-25$

$\underset{–}{\text{Step 1:}}$
First we need to multiply the variable '$y$' by $4$, i.e, $4\times y=4y$
$\therefore 4y$ is the required product.

$\underset{–}{\text{Step 2:}}$
Now, we need to subtract $25$ from the product $4y$. This results in $4y-25$.

$\underset{–}{4y-25}$ is the required algebraic expression.

Therefore, option (c.) is the correct answer.
