Answer:
7 times z reduced by a third of the product is [tex]-\frac{14z}{3}[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Expression 7 times z reduced by a third of the product.
To find : What is the expression ?
Solution :
7 times z is written as 7z.
A third of the product is written as [tex]\frac{1}{3}(7z)[/tex].
7 times z reduced by a third of the product is given by,
[tex]\frac{1}{3}(7z)-7z[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{7z}{3}-7z[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{7z-21z}{3}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{-14z}{3}[/tex]
Therefore, 7 times z reduced by a third of the product is [tex]-\frac{14z}{3}[/tex].
