Question

if (x=5)and y=10 which expression has the greatest value

Answer 1

Let's assume the question was as stated below;

"If x=5 and y=10, which expression has the greatest value​?"

a. xy

b. x + y

c. x-y

d. x/y

Answer:

Option A. Expression xy has the greatest value.

Explanation:

To determine which of the given options has the greatest value, let's go ahead and evaluate each of them;

Option A;

$xy=x\ast y=5\ast10=50$

Option B;

$x+y=5+10=15$

Option C;

$x-y=5-10=-5$

Option D;

$\frac{x}{y}=\frac{5}{10}=\frac{1}{2}$

We can see that the expression (xy) gives the greatest value.

Therefore, option A would be our correct answer.
