Question

If x=-8, y = 3.land z = 7, what is the value of xy - xz ?

Answer 1

Given:

a.) x= -8

b.) y = 3

c.) z = 7

Let's determine the value of the given expression by plugging in the given.

`\text{ xy - xz}`
`\text{ = (-8)(3) - (-8)(7)}`
`\text{ = (-24) - (-56)}`
`\text{ = -24 + 56 = 56 - 24}`
`\text{ = 32}`

Therefore, the answer is 32.
