Question

Evaluate 2y+x2÷4 when x=6 and y=4. I got 44 but it said it was wrong please help need an explanation as well

Answer 1

17

Explanation:

2 (4) + 6^2 / 4 = 8 + 36 / 4 = 8 + 9 = 17.

When solving these types of problems, make sure to use BEDMAS. For example, in this question, do x^2 / 4 before 2y + (x^2 / 4).
