Question

Evaluate the following expression at x=5 and y = 6 -x-3y-8

Answer 1

The answer is -31

Explanation:

By substituting the values of x and y, we can evaluate the expression.

`- x - 3y - 8 = - (5) - 3(6) - 8`

After expanding out, we will get

`- 5 - 18 - 8 = - 31`

This is equivalent to -31 which is the answer

Answer 2

-5-3(6)-8
-5-18-8
=
-31
