Answer:
468
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation is: 51x² + y + 3
Let's first find x. It says x= 3, so let's subsitute that in.
51(3)² + y + 3
3² is 9 because 3 times 3 is 9, which means:
51(9) + y + 3.
It is 51 times 9 and not 519 because x was supposed to be squared by itself and 51 was next to it. When a number is close to another number, especially with parentheses, it wants you to multiply the two together.
For example: 3(3) is 9 and 4(5) is 20.
Now that we found x, let's get y. The problem states that y= 6...let's subsitute that in.
51(9) + 6 + 3.
Now that we got all the variables out of the way, we can simplify!
51 times 9= 459
459+6+3 is the same thing as 459+9, since 6+3= 9.
459+15= 468 :)
