Question

Evaluate: y( x + x) + 3, where x = 1 and y=3

Answer 1

9

Explanation:

for the expression y(x+x)+3, we can first simplify:

y(2x)+3

then we can substitute 1 for x and 3 for y:

3(2*1)+3

multiply inside the parenthesis:

3*2+3

multiply 3 and 2:

6+3

add 3:

9

Therefore, this evaluates to 9

Answer 2

y( x + x) + 3, where x = 1 and y=3

Plug 1 in for x and 3 in for y like...

3( 1 + 1) + 3

To evaluate apply the rules of PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponent, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction)

Parentheses

3( 1 + 1) + 3

3(2) + 3

Exponent

There are none so go on to the next step

Multiplication

3(2) + 3

6 + 3

Division

There are none so go on to the next step

Addition

6 + 3

9
