Evaluate the following algebraic expression yx ÷ 2; when x = 7, and y = 2
To evaluate the expression yx ÷ 2 when x = 7 and y = 2, we substitute the values of x and y into the expression.
yx ÷ 2 = (2)(7) ÷ 2
Simplifying the expression inside the parentheses:
(2)(7) = 14
Now, substituting this value into the expression:
14 ÷ 2
Dividing 14 by 2:
14 ÷ 2 = 7
Therefore, the value of the expression yx ÷ 2 when x = 7 and y = 2 is 7.
Simplify
If you want to simplify just the algebraic expression yx ÷ 2, without substituting specific values for x and y, then we leave the expression as it is:
yx ÷ 2
This cannot be simplified any further without knowing the specific values of x and y.
