Question

If x = -2/3 and y = 27, what is the value of xy + 5/3 ?

A) -20/3
B) -13/3
C) 5/6
D) 3

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

Evaluate the numerator , that is

xy + 5 = ( -
`(2)/(3)` × 27 ) + 5 = - 18 + 5 = - 13 , then

`(-13)/(3)`

= -
`(13)/(3)` → B

Answer 2

b)
`(-13)/(3)`

Explanation:

`(xy + 5)/(3)\\\\((-2)/(3)27 + 5)/(3)\\\\(-18 + 5)/(3)\\\\(-18 + 5)/(3)\\\\(-13)/(3)`
