Please show your work
step by step so I will know how to solve this for my next problem.

Answer 1

Therefore, when we put x=1 and y=2, the equation 3(x+2y)-2x+10 simplifies to 23.

Explanation:

To evaluate and simplify the expression first we have to put x=1 and y=2 in the equation as given in the question,

3(x+2y)-2x+10 = 3(1+2(2))-2(1)+10

=3(1+2(2))-2+10

= 3(1+4)+8

= 3(5)+8

= 15+8

= 23

Therefore, when we put x=1 and y=2, the equation 3(x+2y)-2x+10 simplifies to 23.
