Question

8x-y
evaluate the expression when x=2 and y=-4

Answer 1

Value of expression when x = 2 and y =-4 is 20

Explanation:

The given expression be, 8x - y

when x = 2 and y = -4 means that, substituting the value of x and y in the given expression

To find the value of expression

8x - y ------(1)

x = 2 and y = -4

substitute the values of x and y in (1)

8x - y = 8*2 - (-4)

= 16 + 4 = 20

Therefore the value of expression when x= 2 and y = -4 is 20

Answer 2

20

Explanation:

We are given the expression with two variables x and y and are asked to evaluate the expression 8x - y. We can complete this task by putting the values of x and y in that expression.

x = 2

y = -4

8x -y

= 8 (2) - (-4) //two negatives become positive

= 16 + 4 = 20
