-9.5

Answer 1

The value of the expression (–y) when x = 1.2 and y = –10.7 is 9.5

First, we need to know that algebraic expressions are expressions that are made up of terms, variables, coefficients, constants and factors.

Then, we have that the expression is given as;

x (–y)

For when x = 1.2 and y = –10.7

Substitute the values, we have;

-1.2( - (-10.7)

-1.2 + 10.7

add the values

9.5
