Final answer:
To evaluate the expression with the given values: substitute w = 36, y = -1, and z = -2 into the expression w + y - z to get 36 + (-1) - (-2), and simplify to get 36 - 1 + 2, which equals 37.
Step-by-step explanation:
To evaluate the expression w + y - z with given values for w, y, and z, we substitute the numbers into the expression and simplify.
Given:
w = 36,
y = -1,
z = -2
We substitute these values into the expression:
36 + (-1) - (-2)
Simplify the expression:
36 - 1 + 2
Which equals:
37 (because negative of a negative number is positive)
