Thanks, Mariam and Ms. Sue!

@Ms. Sue thank you for listing the causes.

You're welcome, a dog.

To evaluate the expression for x = -2 and y = 1.5, we substitute these values into the given expression and simplify.

The expression is xy + x.

Substituting x = -2 and y = 1.5, we get:

(-2)(1.5) + (-2)

-3 + (-2)

-5

Therefore, the value of the expression is -5. So your answer is correct.
