Question

Evaluate 8x - 3 + y If x = 2 and y = 1

Answer 1

14

To solve this, you have to substitue 2 for x and 1 for y (x=2 and y=1).

8x (the same thing as 8 times x) equals 16 because 8 times 2 equals 16.

16 - 3 = 13

You now want to add 13 + y. Y = 1, so you are adding 13 + 1, which is 14.

8(2) - 3 + 1 = 14
