Hoi!
To solve this, first plug in the values for x and y.
[tex]4x + \frac{1}{2}y [/tex]
Turns into...
[tex]4(2) + \frac{1}{2}(3)[/tex]
Now that we've got the values plugged in, let's solve.
4 × 2 = 8
[tex]8 + \frac{1}{2}(3)[/tex]
[tex] \frac{1}{2} [/tex] × 3 = [tex]1 \frac{1}{2} [/tex]
[tex]8 + 1 \frac{1}{2} = 9 \frac{1}{2} [/tex]
[tex]9 \frac{1}{2} [/tex] is your answer. :)
