"three times the quantity x plus y added to the quantity a minus b"

Answer 1

Hello, Yunseong,

Write the equation as the sentence states, by phrase:

"three times the quantity x" is: 3x

"plus y" becomes +y

"added to the quantity" is: +

"a minus b" is: (a - b)

Then just combine the sections: 3x + y + (a - b)
