Question

Evaluate the expression when w = 2 and y = 5. 10(3w−2y) (1 point) Responses 40 40 -40 -40 120 120 -4

Answer 1

To evaluate the expression \( 10(3w - 2y) \) when \( w = 2 \) and \( y = 5 \):

1. Substitute the values of \( w \) and \( y \) into the expression:
\[
10(3(2) - 2(5))
\]

2. Calculate \( 3(2) \):
\[
3(2) = 6
\]

3. Calculate \( 2(5) \):
\[
2(5) = 10
\]

4. Substitute these results back into the expression:
\[
10(6 - 10)
\]

5. Simplify inside the parentheses:
\[
6 - 10 = -4
\]

6. Finally, multiply by 10:
\[
10(-4) = -40
\]

Therefore, the value of the expression is **-40**.
