Evaluate the expression 4(2x+y)-2y+z for x=-2, y=4 and z=-3
Before inserting the values of the variables, I recommend writing the equation in its simplest form.
First, use the distributive property and distribute 4:-
8x+4y-2y+z
Simplifying,
8x+2y+z
Now that the expression is in its simplest form, we can substitute the variables and simplify the expression.
First, write -2 in lieu of x:-
8(-2)+2y+z
-16+2y+z
Now, write 4 in lieu of y:-
-16+2(4)+z
-16+8+z
-8+z
Final step:-
write -3 in lieu of z:-
-8+(-3)
-8-3
-11
