Given the expression , we are to look for the value of the expression when y = 2. <em>To do that we are going to substitute y as 2 into the given expression and simplify the resulting expression</em> as shown.
<em>Hence the value of the expression when y = 2 is 6</em>
On a number line, v would be all the numbers to the left of -3 (for example, |-4|=4 which is greater than 3) and all the values to the right of positive 3. Since it can't equal 3, v=-3 and v=3 are not included on the number line.
