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.
