Algebra 2 help?

Question

I have a couple of questions on my summer homework and I don't know how to solve them:

Find the value of 4+5[14-(8+3)]

The choices: 27, 19, 49 or -46

Evaluate (a +y)squared+2y if a=5 and y= -3 <
The choices: 58, -2, 70 or 10

I tried to solve them but I can't. I'm used to having equations that equal eachother. Oh, if you can, can you show your work or tell me how you did it. Thanks!!

Answer 1

4+5[14-(8+3)]

4+5[14-11]

4+5[3]

4+15

19





(a +y)squared+2y if a=5 and y= -3

(5-3)^2 +2(-3)

2^2-6

4-6

-2

Answer 2

Find the value of 4+5[14-(8+3)] =
4 + 5[14-11] =
4 + 5[3] =
4 + 15 = 19

The choice is: 19
><
Evaluate (a +y)squared+2y if a=5 and y= -3 < (a+y)² + 2y =
(5-3)² + 2(-3) = 2² -6 = 4 - 6 = -2

The choice is: -2.

Answer 3

There're just 3 things in algebra: evaluating (and simplifying) expressions, solving equations, and graphing. Not everything is solving equations. So

4 + 5[ 14 - (8+3)] =
4 + 5[ 14 - 11] =
4 + 5[ 3] =
4 + 15 =
19 ..................... just order of operations, eh. Alg 1

(a + y)² + 2y =
(5 + -3)² + 2(-3) =
2² - 6 =
4 - 6 =
-2 ........ just substitute and evaluate.
