Answer 1

Part-a) Simplifying -2 + 2x/3.

• -2 + 2x/3

Substituting the given value.

• -2 + 2x/3
• => -2 + 2(6)/3
• => -2 + 12/3
• => -2 + 4
• => 2

After simplifying Part-a, we got 2 as our simplified answer.

Part-b) Simplifying 5 - x/3.

• 5 - x/3

Substituting the given value.

• 5 - (-3)/3
• => 5 + 3/3
• => 5 + 1
• => 6

After simplifying Part-b, we got 6 as our simplified answer.

Part-c) Simplifying 2 - 3x/4.

• 2 - 3x/4

Substituting the given value.

• 2 - 3(4)/4
• => 2 - 12/4
• => 2 - 3
• => -1

After simplifying Part-c, we got -1 as our simplified answer.

Part-d) Simplifying -3 + x/2.

• -3 + x/2

Substituting the given value.

• -3 + 6/2
• => -3 + 3
• => 0

After simplifying Part-d, we got 0 as our simplified answer.
