Question

Mr. Ward asked his students to evaluate the expression 43 + 2y when y = 8. Three of Mr. Ward's students wrote their answers on the board. Which student evaluated the expression correctly?

Answer 1

Hello there. To solve this question, we have to evaluate the expression at the given value of y.

Given the expression:

`43+2y`

We want to evaluate it when y = 8.

Plugging y = 8, we get that

`43+2\cdot8=43+16=59`

In this case, we find that neither of the students evaluated the expression correctly.
