Answer 1

Hello there today we will solve your problem

here is our equation,

$2-(3x+5y)$,

Now we will plug in our numbers

__________________

1. ${\boxed{x=-3}}$
2. ${\boxed{y=4}$

__________________

$2-(3\cdot-3+5\cdot4)$

simplify it and we get

$2-(-9+20)$

$2-11$

$-9$

Answer 2

Hey there!

2 - (3x + 5y)

= 2 - (3(-3) + 5(4)

= 2 - (-9 + 20)

= 2 - 11

= -9

Therefore, your answer is: -9
