Given the expression: (3z + y)(z + y) and the values x = -2, y = 3, and z = 5
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "evaluate the expression for the given values of the variables.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "This is a substitution or replacement problem. Just substitute the given values of x,
\n" ); document.write( "y, and z into the given expression. When you substitute -2 for x, 3 for y, and 5 for z,
\n" ); document.write( "the expression is transformed to:
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "((3*5) + 3)*(5 + 3)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Note that there is no substitution for x because x does not appear in the expression.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Do the multiplication in the first part of the expression. The 3*5 is equal to 15 so the
\n" ); document.write( "expression becomes:
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "(15 + 3)*(5 + 3)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Next do the additions inside each set of parentheses to get:
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "(18)*(8)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "And now the multiplication is just 18 times 8 to give the answer of 144. That's it.
\n" ); document.write( "With the given substitutions the expression is evaluated and its value is 144.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps you to understand the basics of what you do to evaluate an expression
\n" ); document.write( "if you are given values for each of the variables in the expression. \n" ); document.write( "
