Question

If x = 2 and y = 4, then (2x + 3y) ÷ 4 - 2 = A) 10 B) 9 C) 8 D) 2

Answer 1

2 (D)

Explanation:

(2x+3y)÷4-2 you replace the variables with the matching numbers, and then multiply them by the number next to them.

(4+12)÷4-2 you add the numbers together

16÷4-2 you divide 16 by 4

4-2 you subtract to

2 this is your answer

Answer 2

`\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{2}}}}}`

Option D is the correct option.

Explanation:

Given, x = 2 and y = 4

`\sf{(2x + 3y) / 4 - 2}`

plug the value of x and y

⇒
`\sf{ (2 * 2 + 3 * 4) / 4 - 2}`

Multiply the numbers which are inside the bracket

⇒
`\sf{(4 + 12) / 4 - 2}`

Add the numbers which are inside the bracket

⇒
`\sf{16 / 4 - 2}`

Divide 16 by 4

⇒
`\sf{4 - 2}`

Subtract 2 from 4

⇒
`\sf{2}`
