Question

Given that x=6 and y = -4, elevate the each of the following expressions.
5x over 3y + x

Answer 1

Explanation:

Substitute the given values into the expression;

`(5(6))/(3(-4)) +6`

Multiply;

`(30)/(-12) +6`

Divide;

30 and -12 aren't common factors. To get to 30 with -12, you need to multiply -12 by -2.5.

`-2(1)/(2) +6`

Add;

`3(1)/(2) \; or \; 3.5`
