Evaluate: l-x^2l (x - y) + (x^3 + y) If x + 8 = 3 and y = 3_
\l 8
Is the answer -202? I did it in the calculator but forgot how to work it out
Answered by Sarah
l -(-5)^2 l [( -5) - (-2)] + [(-5)^3 + (-2)]
Ms.Sue i broke it down more! Hopefully that helps

just plug in the values x = -5 and y = 3

l-x^2l (x - y) + (x^3 + y)
= |-25| (-5-3) + (-125+3)
= 25(-8) + (-122)
= -322
