Answer 1

To evaluate the expression \( x - \frac{y}{3} \) when \( x = 9 \) and \( y = 6 \), we first substitute the values of \( x \) and \( y \) into the expression:

\[ x - \frac{y}{3} = 9 - \frac{6}{3} \]

Now, calculate \( \frac{6}{3} \):

\[ \frac{6}{3} = 2 \]

Now, substitute this back into the expression:

\[ 9 - 2 = 7 \]

Thus, the value of the expression when \( x = 9 \) and \( y = 6 \) is \( \boxed{7} \).

It seems that the options provided do not include 7, so if this is part of a multiple choice question, please double check the options or the expression itself. The correct evaluation is indeed 7.

Answer 2

wrong

Answer 3

Let's reevaluate the expression step-by-step. The expression is:

\[ x - \frac{y}{3} \]

Given \( x = 9 \) and \( y = 6 \):

1. Substitute the values into the expression:

\[ 9 - \frac{6}{3} \]

2. Calculate \( \frac{6}{3} \):

\[ \frac{6}{3} = 2 \]

3. Now substitute this value back into the expression:

\[ 9 - 2 = 7 \]

The value of the expression \( x - \frac{y}{3} \) with \( x = 9 \) and \( y = 6 \) is indeed 7.

If I misunderstood the expression as it was presented, or if there were parentheses or different operations involved that were not indicated clearly, please provide the expression in its intended format so I can address it correctly. Thanks!
