Question

Substitute x with (-2) and y with (-4) Simplify: 5(41 - x) + {-7(y + x)} =

Answer 1

Answer:

$257$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to evaluate:

$5(41 - x) + ( - 7(y + x)$

for x=-2 and y=-4.

We substitute to get:

$5(41 - - 2) + ( - 7( - 4 + - 2)$

We now simplify to get:

$5(41 + 2) - 7( - 6)$

$5 \times 43 + 42$

$215 + 42 = 257$
