Answer 1

Answer:

1. If x=5, 3*5=15, 15*15=225 + y (3) = 228.

2. If y=4, then 10*4 = 40, 4^2 is 16, so 40 + 16 is 56.

I might be wrong, but the first one you answered, x^2, x= 1/2, I think that is wrong. when something is squared, you don't go, "Oh, well since 1/2 equals 1, that's the answer." The way to figure out something like this is... 1/2 times 1/2, which is .25, or 1/4. Another example: 3^5 . The way to find this out is 3*3*3*3*3 = 243. But  you don't go 3*5, because that answer would be 15, which is not correct.
