Substitute values into expression: Substitute the given values for x and y into the expression.We have x=−2 and y=−4, so we substitute these values into the expression 8+10x2÷(5y).
Calculate x squared: Calculate the value of x2.Since x=−2, we calculate (−2)2=4.
Multiply by 10: Multiply the result from Step 2 by 10. We have 10×4=40.
Calculate 5y: Calculate the value of 5y.Since y=−4, we calculate 5×(−4)=−20.
Divide results: Divide the result from Step 3 by the result from Step 4.We have 40÷(−20)=−2.
Add to 8: Add the result from Step 5 to 8.We have 8+(−2)=6.
