Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We want to find the value of the expression 4(x²+3)-2y is when x=-6 and y=-1/2

Let's first simplify the expression, as that will likely make it easier

Distribute 4 to both x² and 3

4x²+12-2y

That's the expression

Substitute -6 as x into the expression

4(-6)²+12-2y

Raise (-6) to the second power

4*36+12-2y

Multiply 36 by 4

144+12-2y

Add 12 and 144 together

156-2y

Now the expression is 156-2y

But remember that we know that y=-1/2, and we haven't substituted it into the expression yet

Substitute -1/2  as y into the expression

156-2(-1/2)

Multiply

156+2/2

Simplify

156+1

Add

157

Hope this helps!

it would take 5 hours i think idk i'm not that good at math.can you me with my questions i need asap.

step-by-step explanation:

one day the were 5 ducks, and their king told them to multiply their kingdom. so each went their own seperate way and met 4 other ducks on their journey.

when the ducks returned to their kingdom, it was discovered that there were 5 groups of 5 ducks. when the kind counted the number of ducks in total (including the ones he sent out earlier) he counted 25.

therefore 5 times 5 is 25.

the end. : )
