- A.
24
- B.
32
- C.
16
- D.
8
Correct Answer
C. 16Explanation
The given algebraic expression is 86x-y. Substituting x=3 and y=86x-y into the expression, we get 86(3)-(86(3)) = 258-258 = 0. Therefore, the value of the expression is 0. None of the given answer choices match the correct value of 0, so the correct answer is not provided.Rate this question:

Simplify the following expression:2y+9+8y+7
- A.
26
- B.
26y
- C.
10y +16
- D.
10y +9+7
Correct Answer
C. 10y +16Explanation
The given expression is a combination of terms with the variable y and constants. To simplify it, we can combine like terms. Adding the coefficients of the terms with y, we get 2y + 8y = 10y. Adding the constants, we get 9 + 7 = 16. Therefore, the simplified expression is 10y + 16.Rate this question:
