Answer 1

14

Explanation:

-4 + 3(6)

-4+18

14

Answer 2

- 22

Explanation:

Given,

a = 4

y = -6

Now,

`- a + 3y`

Plug the values

`= - 4 + 3 * ( - 6)`

Multiply the numbers

`= - 4 + ( - 18)`

When there is a (+) in front of an expression in parentheses, the expression remains the same.

`= - 4 - 18`

Calculate

`= - 22`

Hope this helps..
