Question

Find the value of this expression if x = 5 and
y = 2.
xy^2/-3

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of this expression is:

• $\frac{xy^2}{-3}=-\frac{20}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

$\frac{xy^2}{-3}$

Apply the fraction rule: a/-b = -a/b

$\frac{xy^2}{-3}=-\frac{xy^2}{3}$

substituting x = 5, y = 2 in the expression

      $=-\frac{\left(5\right)\left(2\right)^2}{3}$

       $=-\frac{\left(5\right)\left(4\right)}{3}\:$

       $=-\frac{20}{3}$

Therefore, the value of this expression is:

• $\frac{xy^2}{-3}=-\frac{20}{3}$
