QuestionEvaluate the expression $-2x - y - 5$ for $x = -2$ and $y = -3$ , then simplify the result.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The given algebraic expression is $-x - y -5$ . We are asked to evaluate this expression at $x=-$ and $y=-3$

STEP 2

First, we substitute the given values of $x$ and $y$ into the algebraic expression.
$-2(-2) - (-) -5$

STEP 3

Next, we simplify the expression by performing the multiplication and subtraction operations.
$+3 -5$

STEP 4

Finally, we perform the addition and subtraction operations to find the final answer.
$4 +3 - =2$ The evaluated algebraic expression at $x=-2, y=-3$ is $2$ .
