Evaluate the following expression using the values given: Find 2x - 3y - z if x = -2, y = 3, and z = -2

Romashka [77]

2x - 3y - z
Substitute the variables for the numbers provided for them
2(-2) - 3(3) - (-2)
Multiply 2 by -2
-4 - 3(3) - (-2)
Multiply -3 by 3
-4 - 9 - (-2)
Subtract 9 from -4
-13 - (-2)
Convert Subtract -2 from -13. It would be the same as adding 2 to -13.
Final Answer: -11

Volume of a Cylinder Formula: $\displaystyle V = \pi r^2h$

V is volume
r is radius
h is height

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Radius r = 2 ft

Height h = 7 ft

Step 2: Solve for V

Substitute in variables [Volume of a Cylinder Formula]: $\displaystyle V = \pi (2 \ ft)^2(7 \ ft)$
[Volume] Evaluate exponents: $\displaystyle V = \pi (4 \ ft^2)(7 \ ft)$
[Volume] Multiply: $\displaystyle V = 28 \pi \ ft^3$
