Question

1: The value of -3 xy , for x = 2 and y = 3, is -18.

True or False

2: The value of x 3y , for x = -2 and y = 3, is -24.


True or False

Answer 1

Both questions are true. I believe so anyways..

Explanation:

Correct me if I'm wrong.

• For both equations all you would have to do is multiply.
  As for the first equation -3 xy is the equation and sense x = 2 and y= 3,
  the equation would now look like this: -3 23. Knowing that, you would multiply all the numbers together to get -18. It turns out negative from -3.

• As for the second equation, you would do the same.
  Having x 3y as the equation and x = -2 and y = 3. The equation will look like this: -2 33. Now to multiply to get -24. Again, it turns out negative because x = -2.

Hope this helps in anyway possible.
