Answer:
a. 17
b. 50
c. 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Simply replace the variables with the given numbers:
3(5) + 2
15 + 2
17
2(5)²
2(25)
50
(5 - 2)²
3²
9
a) 17
b) 50
c) 9
x = 5; y = 2
a) 3x + y
b) 2x^2
c) (x - y)^2
a) 3x + y = 3(5) + 2 = 15 + 2 = 17
b) 2x^2 = 2(5^2) = 2(25) = 50
c) (x - y)^2 = (5 - 2)^2 = 3^2 = 9
