Question

Please help me with this problem

Answer 1

Hello-

6² + (y - x) is our equation. And wonder of wonders, our x and y values are given! What a beautiful thing, having both given to us.

x = -5

y = -77

Let's plug our given values into our equation for x and y. Like so-

6² + (y - x) becomes 6² + (-77 - (-5))

In math, we must do whatever operations are contained within parentheses first and foremost. So we must subtract -5 from -77. That, by the way, equals -72.

6² + -72

Now we do our exponents, or powers.

6² = 36

36 + -72

Now we do the easiest part - adding.

32 + -72 = -36

So the answer to this problem (if I've done my algebra correctly) is -36.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Answer:

-36

Step-by-step explanation:

6^2+(y-x)

=>                 6^2+[-77 - (-5)]

=>                 6^2+[-77+5]

=>                 6^2+(-72)

=>                 36+(-72)                            [6^2 = 36]

=>                 -36
