It seems that the expression is - 7x + 3y - 2 + 6x -1 - y^2
like terms:
-7x + 6x = - x
3y stands alone
-2 - 1 = -3
- y^2 stands alone
Answer: - x + 3y - 3 - y^2
[note: if the last term is not y^2 but 2y, then you have to combine +3y - 2y = y and the answer would be - x + y - 3]
Hey Brion,
1) <span>Evaluate 2A - 3B for A = 7 and B = -2.
To solve this start by filling in the variables.
2(7) - 3(-2)
Now multiply, remember that a positive times a negative is a negative.
14 - (-6)
Finally, subtract. Remember, Keep, Change, Change (KCC). Keep the first number, change symbol (for subtraction use addition), and change the negative number to a positive number.
14 + 6 = 20
</span><span>2) If x = -3, then x 2-7x + 10 equals
Start by filling in the variables.
-3(2) - 7(-3) + 10
Now follow PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication & Division, Addition & Subtraction) to solve. Remember K.C.C (no. 1 above)
</span>-3(2) - 7(-3) + 10
<span>(-6) - (-21) + 10
(-6) + (21) + 10
15 + 10
25*****See NOTE!***

Note: For #2 you may be missing a symbol between the first "x" and "2" because the answer I got above (25) is not one of your choices. Let me know what symbol is missing in the equation: </span><span>x 2-7x + 10, and I will help you solve it.</span>
For this case we have the following function:
f (x) = (1/3) * (4 ^ x)
We must evaluate the function for x = 2
We have then:
f (2) = (1/3) * (4 ^ 2)
Rewriting:
f (2) = (1/3) * (16)
f (2) = 16/3
Answer:
The function evaluated at x = 2 is:
f (2) = 16/3
option A
