What is the value of 3 (y+4) - (x-1) when x=3 and Y=2

Put the values of x = 3 and y = 2 to the expression 3 (y + 4) - (x - 1):

3 (2 + 4) - (3 - 1) = 3 (6) - (2) = 18 - 2 = 16

3 (y + 4) - (x - 1)

x = 3

y = 2

First plug in the numbers into the variables. Or plug in 3 for "x" and 2 for "y" in the equation.

3 (y + 4) - (x - 1)

3 (2 + 4) - (3 - 1) Simplify the numbers in the parentheses

3 (6) - (2)

18 - 2 = 16
