Need help number 18,19

18) Seven less than the product of a number z and 3 is equal to 4
Product of a number z and 3 ⇒ 3z
Seven less than^ ⇒ 3z - 7
Equal to 4 ⇒ = 4
3z - 7 = 4

19) Make an equation for this problem. Your equation will look like:
d + 132 = 468, where d + 132 is the distance she drove on Monday and 468 is the distance she drove on Tuesday.
Solve the equation for d by subtracting 132 from both sides.
d = 336
The truck driver drove 336 miles on Monday, so that means she did not drive 600 miles on Monday.
18) 7 less than the product of a number z and 3 is equal to 4.
[tex] 7\ less\ than = -7 \\ Product = \times \\ Product\ of\ a\ number\ z\ and\ 3 = 3z \\ equal\ to\ 4 \rightarrow =4 [/tex]
That gives you:
[tex] 3z - 7 = 4 [/tex]
18) 3z - 7 = 4
