Evaluate x(– y + z ) for x = 3, y = 3, and z = 1.

1 answer

To evaluate the expression \( x(-y + z) \) for the given values \( x = 3 \), \( y = 3 \), and \( z = 1 \), we can substitute the values into the expression.

  1. Substitute the values: \[ x(-y + z) = 3(-3 + 1) \]

  2. Calculate inside the parentheses: \[ -3 + 1 = -2 \]

  3. Now, substitute back: \[ 3(-2) = -6 \]

Therefore, the result of the evaluation is \( \boxed{-6} \).
