Question

Evalaute the expression 3x + (z+2y)-12, if x=3, y=8 and z=5
please help rn

Answer 1

18

Explanation:

First what you would do is plug in the numbers.

3x3+(5+2x8)-12

Then you would multiply 2 times 8 and get 16. Then add 16 and 5 and get 21.

3x3+(21)-12

Then you add 3 times 3 and get 9.

9+21-12

Then you solve left to right. Then you add 9 and 21 and get 30. Last you subtract by 30 by 12 and get 18.

Answer 2

18

Explanation:

3x + (z + 2y) - 12, if x = 3, y = 8 and z= 5.

3*3 + (5+2*8) - 12

9 + (5 + 16) - 12

9 + 21 - 12

30 - 10 - 2

20 - 2
