Given x=-3, y=6, and z=-4 22-3y+4x=

-8

Explanation: It's a good idea to get into the habit of using parenthses

when substituting numbers in for variables.

Since x = -3 and y = 6, 22 - 3y + 4x is 22 - 3(6) + 4(-3).

3(6) is 18 so we have 22 - 18 + 4(-3).

4(-3) is - 12 so we have 22 - 18 + -12.

Now, 22 - 18 is 4 and 4 + -12 is -8.
