Question

Evaluate: x(y – z) for x = 3, y = 9, and z = 2 O 33 O 45 O-21 O 21

Answer 1

Answer:

21

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given the expression x(y-z), and we want to evaluate it if x=3, y=9, and z=2

As we're given the values of the variables, we can substitute those values into the expression to find out what the value of the expression is.

So substitute 3 as x, 9 as y, and 2 as z in the expression above

x(y-z)

3(9-2)

Now we must follow the order of operations; start by subtracting 2 from 9 (do the stuff inside the parentheses first)

3(7)

Now multiply 3 and 7 together

21
