Assessment: WAEC SSCE - General Mathematics - 2017 (Objective) Subject: General Mathematics

Question 1 Report

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.
