Question

Evaluate the expression for x = 5, y = 3, and z = 14 . 5x−6y+20z / 4yz

Answer 1

Substitute the values of x, y and z to the expression:

$x=5,\ y=3,\ z=14\\\\\dfrac{5x-6y+20z}{4yz}=\dfrac{(5)(5)-(6)(3)+(20)(14)}{(4)(3)(14)}=\dfrac{25-18+280}{(12)(14)}\\\\=\dfrac{7+280}{168}=\dfrac{287}{168}=1\dfrac{119}{168}=1\dfrac{119:7}{168:7}=1\dfrac{17}{24}$
