4 times b increased by 9 minus twice y

4 times b increased by 9 minus twice y

Take this algebraic expression in parts:

Step 1: 4 times b means we multiply the variable b by 4:
4b

Step 2: Increased by 9 means we add 9 to 4b:
4b + 9

Step 3: Twice y means we multiply the variable y by 2:
2y

Step 4: The phrase minus means we subtract 2y from 4b + 9
4b + 9 - 2y
