Question

Take a number ‘x’, multiply it by 5, and add 6 to the result. Finally, subtract another number, ‘y’ from the result. What is the final result?

• A. 5x + y - 6
• B. x + 5y + 6
• C. 5x + 6 - y
• D. 5x + 6y

Answer 1

The correct option is C 5x + 6 - y

The number given is x.
Multiplying the number by 5, we get
$\Rightarrow$ 5x
Again by adding 6 to the number, we get
$\Rightarrow$ 5x + 6
By subtracting y from the above result, we get
$\Rightarrow$ 5x + 6 – y

Hence, the final result is 5x + 6 – y.
