1. If the expression 9y − 5 represents a certain number, which of thefollowing could NOT be the translation?

a. five less than nine times y

b. five less than the sum of 9 and y

c. the difference between 9y and 5

d. the product of nine and y, decreased by 5

Answers

After examining all options, we find that each one can be represented by the expression 9y - 5. Therefore, there is no option that could NOT be the translation of the given expression.

To find the translation that could NOT be represented by the expression 9y - 5, we need to compare each option with the given expression and determine if they are equivalent or not.

The given expression is: 9y - 5

Now, let's examine each option:

a. five less than nine times y

This option can be represented as 9y - 5, so it is equivalent to the given expression.

b. five less than the sum of 9 and y

This option can be represented as 9 + y - 5, which simplifies to 9y - 5. So, it is also equivalent to the given expression.

c. the difference between 9y and 5

This option can be represented as 9y - 5, so it is equivalent to the given expression.

d. the product of nine and y, decreased by 5

This option can be represented as 9y - 5, so it is also equivalent to the given expression.

Answers

Answer:   9

Step-by-step explanation:

assuming that each box is 1 square inch then, you would get 9 square inches.

0,5 go down three to get 0,2

0,2 go left three to get -3,2

-3,2 go up three to get -3,5

-3,5 go right three to get 0,5

so you end up with a 3-by-3 box
