Question

Evaluate each expression if w=2, x=3, y=5, and z=6. 3+4z

Answer 1

27

Explanation:

The expression is 3 + 4z

First, you must know what the value of the variable "z" is.

Because the problem already tells you that z = 6, all you have to do is substitute z with 4:

3 + 4z = 3 + 4(6)

Next, solve using the Order of Operations (P.E.M.D.A.S.).

According to the Order of Operations, multiplication (M) comes before Addition (A). That means you must multiply 4 by 6 first then add the product to 3:

3 + 4(6) = 3 + 24 = 27
