Question

Evaluate and simplify the expression

when x = 5 and z = 3.
2x - 3(x-z)
z - 1
=
[?]

Answer 1

The value of the given equation is 2.

Step-by-step Step-by-step explanation:

Evaluate and simplify the expression

when x = 5 and z = 3.

`\longrightarrow{\sf{(2x - 3(x - z))/(z - 1)}}`

substituting the given values in the equation :

`\longrightarrow{\sf{(2x - 3(x - z))/(z - 1)}}`

`\longrightarrow{\sf{(2 * 5 - 3(5 - 3))/(3 - 1)}}`

`\longrightarrow{\sf{(10 - 3(5 - 3))/(3 - 1)}}`

`\longrightarrow{\sf{(7(2))/(2)}}`

`\longrightarrow{\sf{(7 * 2)/(2)}}`

`\longrightarrow{\sf{\frac{7 * \cancel{2}}{\cancel{2}}}}`

`\longrightarrow{\sf{\underline{\underline{2}}}}`

Hence, the value of the given equation is 2.
