Question

Evaluate the given expression if x = -6 and y = 5

Answer 1

Answer:

$-\frac{1}{2}$

Explanation:

Given the below expression;

$\frac{2x+y}{9+y}$

To evaluate the above expression if x = -6 and y = 5, all we need to do is substitute the given values of x and y into the expression and simplify as seen below;

$\frac{2(-6)+5}{9+5}=\frac{-12+5}{14}=\frac{-7}{14}=\frac{-1}{2}=-\frac{1}{2}$
