Final answer:

When substituting x=0 and y=3/5 into the expression -4x + 5y - 14, the result is -11.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression to evaluate is -4x + 5y - 14 when x=0 and y=3/5. We substitute these values into the expression as follows:

the calculation is easy we need to place the given values in the equation as both the variable values are present the simplification is,

-4(0) + 5(3/5) - 14

=0 + 3 - 14

=3 - 14 = -11

The result is -11.

Therefore, when x is 0 and y is 3/5, the expression evaluates to -11. The correct answer is (b) -11.
