Question

Evaluate 3x+5(y+3) when x is 2 less than the quotient of y and 3, and y=12

Answer 1

Answer:

81

Step-by-step explanation:

12/3 = 4

4 - 2 = 2

x = 2

using the order of operations, you would first have to do y + 3

y = 12

12 + 3 = 15

the equation simplified is 3 x 2 + 5 x 15

3 x 2 = 6

5 x 15 = 75

75 + 6 = 81
