Question

Evaluate the given expression if x= -3 and y=6.

x+3y / 6+3y

Answer 1

5/8

Explanation:

The given expression is
`(x+3y)/(6+3y)`

We need to find of above expression when x = -3 and y = 6

Put x = -3 and y = 6 in given expression such that,

`(x+3y)/(6+3y)=((-3)+3(6))/(6+3(6))\\\\=(-3+18)/(6+18)\\\\=(15)/(24)\\\\=(5)/(8)`

So, the value of given expression is 5/8.
