Question

Evaluate 2xy - m when x = -4, y = 3, and m = 6 please show your work i dont know how to do this and this is worth 10 percent of my grade if i fail i will fail math please help me:(

Answer 1

It is simple matching of numbers and letters, followed by arithmetic.
\[x=-4\]\[y=3\]\[m=6\]
Now take the equation and replace the letters with the corresponding numbers:
\[2xy-m = 2(-4)(3)-(6)\]
What does that equal?

Answer 2

i dont get it can u please show exaple?

Answer 3

I did. All you have to do is the arithmetic. What is

2*(-4)*3 - 6 ?

Answer 4

-2?

Answer 5

What is 2*(-4)?

Answer 6

-2?

Answer 7

What is 2*4?

Answer 8

8?

Answer 9

Yes, 2*4 = 8. 2*(-4) = -8, because a positive number (2) times a negative number (-4) gives you a negative result (-8). A negative number times a negative number gives you a positive result, and of course a positive number times a positive number also gives you a positive result.

So, we've gotten the first multiplication done:

\[2*(-4)*3 - 6 = (-8)*3 - 6\]
What is (-8) * 3?

Answer 10

-22?

Answer 11

i mean -24

Answer 12

Yes. What is -24 - 6?

Answer 13

-28

Answer 14

Try again...

Answer 15

If you're at -24 on the number line, and you go 6 units to the left (subtracting 6 = moving 6 units to the left on the number line), where do you end up?

Answer 16

can u please just tell me this problem and teach me on the other one cuzz this is very importind and i need to put in befor 3:30:(

Answer 17

-24 - 6

what is 24 + 6? -24 -6 is the same thing, with a - sign in front...

Answer 18

31

Answer 19

4 + 6 = 10, doesn't it? So 24 + 6 = 20+10 = 30.

Similarly, -24 - 6 = -30

Answer 20

so its -30?

Answer 21

???

Answer 22

Yes...sorry, didn't notice you had responded.

Answer 23

now can u please right down the whole problmem in order done i wana see how it fully looks like

Answer 24

\[x=-4\]\[y=3\]\[m=6\]First substitute in value of \(x\):
\[2xy-m = 2(-4)y-m\]Now \(y\):
\[2xy-m = 2(-4)(3) -m \]Now \(m\):
\[2xy-m = 2(-4)(3) - (6)\]Do the arithmetic:
\[2xy-m = 2(-4)(3)-(6) = (-8)(3)-6 = -24 - 6 = -30\]

Answer 25

Before anything else you need to learn basic arithmetic, this is a elementary school skill. You should be able to add numbers under 100 together easily. For example:
58+12 = 70
70 - 30=40
39-11=28
11-12=-1
-2-45=-47
You NEED to be able to do this quickly and accurately. You can't add 24 and 6 and get 31... You need to think what 4+6 is...10! So how could the number end in 1?

From there the problem is asking to make a simple substitution. If I have:
a*b - c with a = 2, b = -3, and c = 4 then it's simply 2*(-3) - 4 = -6-4=-10.
Apply this to your current problem and any similar problem.
