The value of the expression -2xy for x = -4.7 and y = 0.2 is 1.88. Thus option number 3 is correct.
<u>Solution:</u>
We have been given an expression that is -2xy and have been asked to find its value for the given values of x and y
The given values of x and y are -4.7 and 0.2 respectively.
To find the value of the expression for the given values of x and y we substitute the values of x and y in the given expression and solve it as follows:
Answer: It decreased by 24F not 10F because if it were 10F the starting temperature had to be -7F since the difference between this number and -17F is 10F but in this case it starts at 7F so we subtract 7-0=7 and 17-0=17 and add 17+7=24F.
