6 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for percent change is

change/original.

So let's subtract 17 from 55 to find the change. 55-17=38

This is the change. Now we divide it by the original, 17.

38/17=2.235294

We're not done yet! We have to move the decimal point over to the right 2 spaces to make it a percentage. So, the percentage increase is

about 223.53 percent

Substitute the values of w, x, y and z to the expression:

$w=3,\ x=-2,\ y=6,\ z=0.5\\\\\dfrac{yz}{w}+2x=\dfrac{(6)(0.5)}{3}+(2)(-2)=\dfrac{3}{3}-4=1-4=-3$
