Question

If x= -8 and y=-4​, evaluate the expression. title="\frac{3x-4}{y-3}" alt="\frac{3x-4}{y-3}" align="absmiddle" class="latex-formula">

Answer 1

Your answer would be 4.

If we substitute in x = -8 and y = -4 into the expression, we get:

$\frac{3(-8) - 4}{-4 - 3}$

This then becomes:

$\frac{-24 - 4}{-7}$ = $\frac{-28}{-7}$ = 4.

I hope this helps!
