Answer:
27 over 4
Explanation:
To solve this, work on each side, one at a time.
Since there are variables, replace them with the numbers provided.
7x - 3y
over
2x + y
Can be translated to...
7 * 3 - 3 * -2
over
2 * 3 + -2
Let's work with the top side first.
7 * 3 - 3 * -2
Remember the order of operations (Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction)
Keep in mind that Multiplication and Division as well as Addition and Subtraction are done in the order shown in the problem.
Let's start by doing the multiplication...
21 - (-6)
Then the subtraction!
27!
Now for the bottom side...
2 * 3 + -2
Multiply first.
6 + -2
Then add!
4!
This leaves the answer as...
27 over 4!
