Question 631699: eveluate the expression for the given values or x and y x=2 y=3
5xy

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The expression you are given is 5xy, and this means 5 times x times y.
.
To evaluate the expression for x = 2 and y = 3, just substitute 2 for x and 3 for y in the expression. When you make those substitutions you get:
.
5 times 2 times 3
.
5 times 2 is 10 and then you multiply that by 3 to get the answer 30.
.
So you can say that when x 2 and y = 3, then 5xy = 30
.
Hope this helps you to understand this problem.
