Answer 1

Write in algebraic language.

Given, a number $y$ is multiplied by $9$, then $3$ is subtracted. The result is $42$.

Here,

Multiplying $y$ with $9$ is $y\times 9=9y$.

Subtracting $3$ from $9y$ is $9y-3$.

And, according to question result is $42$.

So, $9y-3=42$.

Hence, the final answer is $9y-3=42$.
