x= 3 y=8

x-y+3-8+2

Can someone explain to me why this is wrong? and help me correct it?

What about this one?
x=3 y= -8
x-(-4+y)=3-[-4+(-8)]
=3-(-12)
=3-12
=-9?
Answered by Jane
what are you solving for?
Answered by Annalisa
x and y.. i'm just supposed to describe the error and correct it
Answered by Jane
oh...
3-(-4+8)=3-[-4+(-8)]
3-(-12)
3+12
15=3-[-4+(-8)]
15=3+12
15=15
