Question

2. If x=2, y=3 find
value of
x²-5y+2​

Answer 1

-9

Explanation:

x² - 5y + 2 when x = 2 and y = 3

→ Substitute in x = 2 and y = 3

x² - 5y + 2 ⇔ (2)² - (5 × 3) + 2

→ Simplify

(2)² - (5 × 3) + 2 ⇔ (4) - (15) + 2

→ Simplify further

(4) - (15) + 2 ⇔ 4 - 15 + 2

→ Simplify further

4 - 15 + 2 ⇔ -11 + 2

→ Work out -11 + 2

-11 + 2 = -9

Answer 2

-9

Explanation:

Substitute the give values into the correct place in the equation.

Since x=2, y=3,

Place "2" in the x of the equation, and "3" into the y of the equation.

x²-5y+2​

= 2² - 5(3) + 2

= 4 - 15 + 2

= -9
