Answer 1

y−5x−3 for x = 2 and y = -4

To find the value of y−5x−3 , we plug in 2 for x and -4 for y

y−5x−3

-4 - 5(2) - 3

Now we use order of operation and simplify it

We remove the parenthesis first

-4 - 10 -3

Now we add all the numbers and put the same sign because all the numbers are negative

-17

The value of y−5x−3 is -17
