Question

2. Evaluate the expression when x = 7 and y = 4 x * y - 4(2)

Answer 1

y = 8/27

Explanation:

given

x = 7

y = 4x*y - 4(2)

y = 4*7*y - 8

y = 28y - 8

8 = 28y - y

8 = 27y

8/27 = y

to prove

y = 4x*y - 4(2)

8/27 = 4*7*y - 8

8/27 = 28*8/27 - 8

8/27 = 224/27 - 8

8/27 = 224 - 27*8/27

8/27 = 8/27

hence it is proved that y is 8/27 .

Answer 2

20

Step-by-step explanation

7*4=28

28-4=24

4(2)=8

28-8=20

hope that helped!!
