Do the following without a calculator:

1. Evaluate (3x^2 + 2xy) / (10y + 1), if x = 1 and y = -5

2. Simplify -3 - (-3)

3. Simplify -3 - | -3 |

4. Simplify (4^2*0) / 10

5. Solve 2 - 36x - 2) = 4(x + 1) - 18(1 - 2x)

can u do these and show the work, challenge

All these problems are pretty simple - no tricks involved - why are you stuck?
Hints:

#1

Simply replace 'x' by 1 and 'y' by '-5' - then evaluate. Simple multiplication and division - do not need a calculator.

#2

Remember

-(-3) = +3

#3

|-3| = ? (absolute value is always positive)

#4

What is the value of the numerator - look carefully. Very simple.

#5

This problem is incomplete - it has incomplete parenthesis. Please check the actual problem carefully - compare with your post - and proceed to show us some work.

If you don't show any work - we don't know where do we begin to help you.

Actually, legitimate tutors don't "do" students' assignments for them, and often don't even give out the answers. Sorry! :oops:

On the other hand, if you'd like to show your work so far -- so the volunteers can see where you're stuck and can provide you with helps, hints, links, examples, and instructions -- that would be great! :wink:

Thank you! :D
