To evaluate the expression, we substitute the given values into the expression:

StartFraction y z over w EndFraction + 2 x

Substituting w = 3, x = -2, y = 6, and z = 0.5:

StartFraction 6 times 0.5 over 3 EndFraction + 2 times -2

Simplifying:

StartFraction 3 + (-4) EndFraction

3 - 4 = -1

Therefore, the expression evaluates to -1.
