If x=-6 and y=2, evaluate 2(y-3xy)


\rule{50}{1}\large\blue\textsf{\textbf{\underline{Answer and how to solve:-}}}\rule{50}{1}

First, We need to simplify the expression by multiplying the parentheses by 2:-


\longmapsto\sf{2y-6xy}

Now , Replace y with 2 and x with -6:-


\longmapsto\sf{2(2)-6(-6)(2)}

Simplifying,


\longmapsto\sf{4-6(-12)}

Further simplifying,


\longmapsto\sf{4+72}

Adding,


\longmapsto\underline{\boxed{\sf{76}}}

Good luck with your studies.
