Question

Find the value of y when a = 7, b= 16 and c = -3 given that y = 5a + 8c - b

Answer 1

Answer:

-5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression:

          y = 5a + 8c - b

a  = 7,

b  = 16,

c  = -3

 Insert the given parameters and solve;

     y  = 5(7) + 8(-3) - 16

     y  = 35 - 24 - 16

     y  = 35 - 50

     y  = -5
