SOLUTION

We will simply substitute the known values of x and y into the given expression

abd get our answer.


\begin{gathered} \lvert5x+3y\rvert \\ \text{when x=5 and y=2} \end{gathered}

The expression will become:


\begin{gathered} =\lvert5(5)+3(2)\rvert \\ =\lvert25+6\rvert \\ =\lvert31\rvert \\ =31 \end{gathered}

The answer is 31.
