math problem

Answer 1

what do you think is the first thing to do is?

Answer 2

im not sure

Answer 3

the first thing i would do is substitute the values given within the parentheses in the appropiate place of the factor/equation

Answer 4

for example, there is a 2 representing the factor of X within the parentheses, what do you think we need to substitute that into and where at?

Answer 5

im not sure

Answer 6

You would place it after the 3 of the first equation

for the value of Y *which = -7*, that would go after the -4 in the first equation

and finally for the value of Z *which = -8* would go after the (+)4 in the first equation

Answer 7

For the other two equations, you would do the same steps

Substitute the value of 2 for X, -7 for Y, and -8 for Z in the other equations

Answer 8

2 is the first one

Answer 9

the anser is yes?

Answer 10

I would work them out all to be sure. because I just did the first equation and it does equal 2

Answer 11

I just did the second equation and it doesn't equal up to 18, as it give me 22

Answer 12

i thought ere supposed to get it eual to 2, -7, and -8

Answer 13

Oh no, we were supposed to get the product that's behind the equal sign on the right

Answer 14
