The expression is: 4y2x\\frac{4y}{2x}<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This fraction has variables in both the numerator and the denominator. To evaluate it, we first <strong>substitute<\/strong> the values of the variables. In this case, we&#8217;re told:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>x=4x = 4<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>y=\u22126y = -6<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So we plug these values into the expression: 4(\u22126)2(4)\\frac{4(-6)}{2(4)}<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now we perform the multiplication in both the numerator and denominator. In the numerator, 4\u00d7(\u22126)=\u2212244 \\times (-6) = -24. In the denominator, 2\u00d74=82 \\times 4 = 8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now we divide: \u2212248=\u22123\\frac{-24}{8} = -3<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This tells us that when x=4x = 4 and y=\u22126y = -6, the entire expression simplifies to \u22123-3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This type of evaluation is very common in algebra. It&#8217;s important to follow the <strong>order of operations<\/strong> (PEMDAS\/BODMAS) and handle signs (positive\/negative) carefully. Also, be cautious to substitute correctly \u2014 one small mistake in multiplication or sign handling can lead to a wrong answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding how to substitute and simplify algebraic expressions is a key algebra skill that prepares you for solving equations, graphing, and real-world applications like physics or economics problems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>4y\/2x evaluate the expression when x=4 and y= -6 The correct answer and explanation is: We are given the algebraic expression: 4y2x\\frac{4y}{2x} and asked to evaluate it when x=4x = 4 and y=\u22126y = -6.
