Question

What is the value of the expression xy + z when x = 5, y = 0, and z =
5/8?

Answer 1

Answer: 5/8

Explanation:

=5*0+5/8 = 5/8

=0+5/8 = 5/8

=5/8 = 5/8

Answer 2

`\huge\boxed{\ (5)/(8)\ }`

To find the value of the expression, substitute the given values into the expression and simplify:

`\begin{aligned}xy&+z\\(5)(0)&+(5)/(8)\end{aligned}`

Since anything multiplied by zero equals zero, we can simplify:

`\displaystyle0+(5)/(8)`

Finally, adding zero to any value has no effect, so we can remove the first term entirely:

`\boxed{(5)/(8)}`
