| (iii) | 5z | Multiplication | z is Multiplied by 5 | |
| (c) | (i) | 2y + 17 | Multiplication and addition | y is multiplied by 2 and then 17 is added. |
| (ii) | 2y -17 | Multiplication and subtraction | Twice of y is decreased by 17 | |
| (d) | (i) | 7 m | Multiplication | m is multiplied by 7 |
| (ii)- | -7m + 3 | Multiplication and addition | m is multiplied by -7 and then increased by 3 | |
| (iii) | -7m – 3 | Multiplication and subtraction | M is multiplied by -7 and then decreased by 3 | |
