If x = \(\frac{2}{3}\) and y = - 6, evaluate xy - \(\frac{y}{x}\)
Answer Details
We are asked to evaluate the expression xy - $\frac{y}{x}$, where x = $\frac{2}{3}$ and y = -6.
First, we can find xy:
xy = $\frac{2}{3}$ * -6 = -4
Next, we can find $\frac{y}{x}$:
$\frac{y}{x}$ = -6 * $\frac{3}{2}$ = -9
Finally, we can subtract $\frac{y}{x}$ from xy:
xy - $\frac{y}{x}$ = -4 - (-9) = -4 + 9 = 5
So the expression xy - $\frac{y}{x}$ = 5.
