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.
To evaluate the expression when w = 3, x = -2, y = 6, and z = 0.5, we substitute the given values into the expression:
StartFraction y z over w EndFraction + 2 x
StartFraction (6)(0.5) over 3 EndFraction + 2(-2)
StartFraction 3 over 3 EndFraction + (-4)
1 + (-4)
Therefore, the expression evaluates to -3.
To evaluate the expression when w = 3, x = -2, y = 6, and z = 0.5, we need to substitute these values into the expression.
The expression is:
StartFraction y z over w EndFraction plus 2 x
Substituting the given values, we have:
StartFraction 6 (0.5) over 3 EndFraction plus 2 (-2)
Now, simplify the expression by performing the operations in the correct order:
First, multiply the numbers inside the parentheses:
StartFraction 6 times 0.5 over 3 EndFraction plus 2 times -2
This becomes:
StartFraction 3 over 3 EndFraction - 4
Next, simplify the fraction:
StartFraction 1 EndFraction - 4
Finally, subtract 4 from 1:
1 - 4 = -3
Therefore, the evaluation of the expression when w = 3, x = -2, y = 6, and z = 0.5 is -3.
