Hey there (again)
[tex]x = 2y \\ y = -2 \\ x = 2(-2) \\x= -4 \\ \\ \\ w + xy + 4x^2 = 2\\ w+-4(-2) + 3(-4)^2 = 2 \\ w + 8 + 3(16) = 2 \\ w + 8 + 48 = 2 \\ Subtract56: w + 56 =2 \\ 56 - 56 (Cancel) \\ 2 - 56 = -54 \\ w = -54 [/tex]
Answer: [tex]B[/tex] the simplification performed in step 2 is invalid or incorrect
Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day
