To simplify the expression 3x + 5y - xy when x=7 and y=3, we substitute the values into the expression:
3(7) + 5(3) - 7(3)
21 + 15 - 21
36
So the simplified expression is 36.

so you are positive that it is 15 and not 36
Apologies for the confusion in my previous response.
The correct simplified expression is indeed 15.
Thank you for catching that mistake.
