what is 15 + ( -x ) + y where x = - 3 and y = 6

Question

x equals negative 3 and y equals 6.

Answer 1

The expression is 15 + ( - x ) + y and the values of x = - 3 and y = 6.

Substitute the values of x = - 3 and y = 6 in the original expression.

15 + [ - (- 3)] + (6)

Product of two same signs is positive.

= 15 + [3] + (6)

Add the all terms.

= 24.

The solution is 24.
