@misty1212 \[what is the value of -3x ^{2}y ^{3} when x = 2 and y = -1?\]
OpenStudy (misty1212):
\[3\times 2^2\times (-1)^3\] is a start
OpenStudy (misty1212):
well actually if i read it right
\[-3\times 2^2\times (-1)^3\]
OpenStudy (misty1212):
you have 4 minus signs so it is positive, then compute
\[3\times 2\times 2\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
= 12?

OpenStudy (bee_see):
in this case, you just add the numbers in front of x. For example: 2x+3x=5x
OpenStudy (bee_see):
add 5x+5x+1x+1x
OpenStudy (bee_see):
5+5+1+1?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
they both equal 12x
