6(3)^2 - 7= 47

100

(11 - 3z) + x + y

for z = 2, x = 9, y = 5

(11 - 3(2)) + 9 + 5 = 19

100

(n / 2) + 3m

for n=50, m=15

(50 / 2) + 3(15) = 60

What is 2x-6?

200

4(t) + 5 + t^2

for t = 3

4(3) + 5 + (3)^2 = 26

200

3x^4 - z

for x = 3, z = 10

3(3)^4 - 10 = 233

200

3p - 2(r - q)

for p = 4, r = 5, q = 3

3(4) - 2(5 - 3)

= 12 - 2(2) 

= 12 - 4 = 8

200

3(2x - 1)^4 + 6y - 9z

for x=5, y=7, z= 8

3(2(5) - 1)^4 +6(7) - 9(8) 

= 3(10-1)^4 + 42 - 72 

= 3(9)^4 + 42 - 72 

= 19683 + 42 - 72 = 19653

300

5a^3 - 10b^2 + 100c^500

for a = 3, b = 2, c = 1

5(3)^3 - 10(2)^2 +100(1)^500 = 195

400

2(y^5 - h^2 - 3j) + 2k

for y = 4, h = 6, j = 7, k = 8

2((4)^5 - (6)^2 - 3(7)) + 2(8) = 1950

400

(2x + 3z)^4 / 12

for x=5 and z=3

(2(5) +3(3))^4 / 12 = 10860.08333

What is -x-1?

500

2x^4 + 5L^7 - 6w^3 - 4m^2

for x = 3, L = 6, w = 4, m = 5

2(3)^4 + 5(7)^8 - 6(4)^3 - 4(5)^2 

= 2(81) + 5(279936) - 6(64) - 4(25) 

= 162 + 1399680 - 384 - 100 = 1399358

500

n^2/4 + 2m^3 - 85

for n = 8, m = 3

(8^2)/4 + 2(3)^3 - 85 = -15

3(2f -4e)^2 - 5g + 6k/6

for f = 9, e = 8, g = 1, k = 6

3(2(9) - 4(8))^2 - 5(1) + 6(6)/6 = 589

500

b + 3(2c - 5d)^2

for b= 10, c = 4, d = 3

10 + 3(2(4) - 5(3)) 

= 10 + 3(8 - 15)^2 = 10 + 3(-7)^2
