evaluate the expression when x = 9 and y = 6

x - y/ 3

1 answer

To evaluate the expression \( x - \frac{y}{3} \) when \( x = 9 \) and \( y = 6 \), you can follow these steps:

  1. Substitute the values of \( x \) and \( y \) into the expression: \[ 9 - \frac{6}{3} \]

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

  3. Substitute back into the expression: \[ 9 - 2 \]

  4. Perform the subtraction: \[ 9 - 2 = 7 \]

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