The first step in solving this is to substitute x with 3 and y with 2, so that
becomes
Then simply solve using the order of operations.
First exponents (there are no parentheses)
Then multiply and divide
And finally add and subtract
Therefore the value <span>of 1/3 x^2 + 5.2y when x=3 and y=2 is 13.4</span>
