help long equation will post bellow

OpenStudy (chosenmatt):

okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

When x = 3 and y = 5, by how much does the value of 3x^2 – 2y exceed the value of 2x^2 – 3y ? F. 4 G. 14 H. 16 J. 20 K. 50

OpenStudy (igreen):

First find their values.. \(3x^2 - 2y\) Plug in x = 3 and y = 5: \(3(3)^2 - 2(5)\) Can you simplify \(3^2\)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yes..so that gives us: \(3(9) - 2(5)\) Now multiply both of those and subtract.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

27-10

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yep, subtract that.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

17

OpenStudy (igreen):

Okay, so that one equals 17, now let's find the other one. \(2x^2 – 3y\) Plug in x = 3 and y = 5: \(2(3)^2 - 3(5)\) What's \(3^2\)?

OpenStudy (chosenmatt):

3x^2-2y = 3(3^2)-3(5) = 27-15 = 12 --- 2x^2 - 3y = 2(3)^2-3(5) = 18-15 = 3 ------- Ans: 12-3 =

OpenStudy (igreen):

What's \(3^2\)? @Indogot

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry @iGreen internet died

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but 9

OpenStudy (chosenmatt):

yes it's 9 good job :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

18-15=3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

got it subtract 3 from 17 get 14
