\large\blue\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Question:-}}}}

Given that x = 6 and y = -4, evaluate the following expression:-


\bold{3x+(x)/(y) y^2}.


\large\blue\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Answer and How to solve:-}}}}

First, substitute 6 for x:-


\bold{3(6)+(6)/(y) y^2}

Now, write -4 in lieu of y:-


\bold{18+(6)/(-4) (-4)^2}

On simplification,


\bold{18+(6)/(-4) *16}

On further simplification,


\bold{18+(3)/(-2) *16}

Which results in


\dashrightarrow\bigstar\star\boxed{\boxed{\bold{\underline{-6}}}}\dashleftarrow

Good luck.
