Question
Subtract:
\[x^2 y - \frac{4}{5}x y^2 + \frac{4}{3}xy \text { from } \frac{2}{3} x^2 y + \frac{3}{2}x y^2 - \frac{1}{3}xy\]

Solution
\[ \left( \frac{2}{3} x^2 y + \frac{3}{2}x y^2 - \frac{1}{3}xy \right) - \left( x^2 y - \frac{4}{5}x y^2 + \frac{4}{3}xy \right)\]
\[ = \frac{2}{3} x^2 y + \frac{3}{2}x y^2 - \frac{1}{3}xy - x^2 y + \frac{4}{5}x y^2 - \frac{4}{3}xy\]
\[ = \frac{2}{3} x^2 y - x^2 y + \frac{3}{2}x y^2 + \frac{4}{5}x y^2 - \frac{1}{3}xy - \frac{4}{3}xy (\text { Collecting like terms })\]
\[ = - \frac{1}{3} x^2 y + \frac{23}{10}x y^2 - \frac{5}{3}xy (\text { Combining like terms })\]

At age of 2 years, a cat or a dog is considered 24 “human” years old. Each year, after age 2 is equivalent to 4 “human” years. Fill in the expression [24 + 
(a – 2)] so that it represents the age of a cat or dog in human years. Also, you need to determine for what ‘a’ stands for. Copy the chart and use your expression to complete it.
