Question

Evaluate x - 3y when x = -2 and y= -4
A. -10
B. -4
C. 4
D. 14​

Answer 1

Answer: I got 10 (not negative 10) but I don’t see it up there unless you put -10 as a choice on accident.

Answer 2

Answer: 10

Explanation:

When given the x and y values, you plug them in and solve.

-2-3(-4) [multiply]

-2+12 [add]

10

Now, we know that the answer is 10. 10 is not provided as an answer choice, but it is the correct the answer.
