Just plug the coff. of the variable in the equation :
2(3)-(-2)= ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
just plug in the values.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so what the anwers
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Eyad gave you the problem, and if you know how to multiply, then you should be able to do it

what is 2 x 3 ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
-9
OpenStudy (anonymous):
let me show you...
2(3) - (-2) -- a negative times a negative becomes a positive
6 + 2 = your answer
So what is 6 + 2 ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
8

Correct !!! Good job !
OpenStudy (anonymous):
incorrect
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
how is that incorrect ?
2x - y when x = 3 and y = - 2
plug in 3 for x and -2 for y
2x - y
2(3) - (-2)
6 + 2 = 8
That should be correct.

Did you write the problem correctly ?

yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
why did you put -5 ? Is that supposed to be the correct answer ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2x - y - Z
2(-2) - (3) - (-2)
-4 - 3 + 2= -5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Plug the numbers in
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you didn't write the problem correctly. You said y was -2 and there wasn't even a z in the problem.

and x is supposed to be 3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
nop
OpenStudy (anonymous):
next time make sure you write the problem down correctly and you will get the right answer
OpenStudy (anonymous):
im correct
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no you are not.....that is, if you are going by your original problem

so what the answer then???
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what is the correct problem including what the variables equal ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Is the problem 2x - y - z where x = 3, y = -2, and what does z equal ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
or are you supposed to find z ?

Evaluate 2x − y − z when x = −2, y = 3, and z = −2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2x - y - Z
2(-2) - (3) - (-2)
-4 - 3 + 2= (-5 answer)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok...let me do this...
2x - y - z
2(-2) - 3 - (-2)
-4 - 3 + 2
- 7 + 2
- 5
You are correct...it is - 5.
Next time, write the correct problem down and it would make this much easier
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@kelliegirl33 for your patience you deserve all the medals in the world.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
lol...thank you Eleven17....sometimes it is not so easy
