Write an expression for: the product of 3 and the quantity of a number minus 7

"The product" immediately suggests multiplication; we're going to be multiplying two quantities together, "3" and "a number minus 7"

"A number" just describes an unknown value, so we'll pick the letter n to be that unknown in our expression. "A number minus 7" then could be written as n - 7.

We can now write the product of 3 and (n - 7) as the expression

3 × (n - 7)

9514 1404 393

  (0, 0), (3, 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

When the graph represents direct variation, it passes through the origin (0, 0) and any points that have the same y/x ratio. Here, that ratio is 10/6 = 5/3, so points like (3, 5) and (9, 15) will be on the graph.
