Question

Evaluate the expression when x = -7/15 and y = 2/5x - 4yWrite your answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

Given the expression:

`x-4y`

Let's evaluate the expression when x = -7/15 and y = 2/5

To evaluate the expression, substitute the values for the variables into the expression:

`\begin{gathered} -(7)/(15)-(4*(2)/(5)) \\ \\ -(7)/(15)-(8)/(5) \\ \\ (1(-7)-3(8))/(15) \\ \\ =(-7-24)/(15) \\ \\ \end{gathered}`

Solving further:

`\begin{gathered} \frac{}{}(-31)/(15) \\ \\ =-2(1)/(15) \end{gathered}`

ANSWER:

`-2(1)/(15)`
