We are asked to write the verbal phrase "r decreased by 3" as an algebraic expression.

[tex]\triangle~\fbox{\bf{KEY:}}\star[/tex]

  • Think about it. "decreased by". If we decrease a number by another number, what happens to the first number?

Here we decrease the variable "r" by 3.

Remember, variables always represent some number.

Let's think about it this way...

///\\\////\\\\////\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\///\\///\\///\\///\//\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\///\\\///\

So we have a number r, and we decrease it by 3.

Now its value is less than the original value.

We subtracted 3 from the original value of r, and now its value is less than the original one.

Thus, "decreased by" is the same as "subtracted" in mathematics.

r decreased by 3 ⇒ [tex]\star\large\pmb{r-3}[/tex]

Hope it helps you out! :D
