Given that x = 6 and y = 3, we need to find the value of the expression:
(2xy + 7y - 10) / (4xy - 3x - 2)
First, let's substitute the values of x and y into the expression:
Numerator: 2xy + 7y - 10 = 2 * 6 * 3 + 7 * 3 - 10
2 * 6 * 3 = 36
7 * 3 = 21
So, the numerator becomes: 36 + 21 - 10 = 57 - 10 = 47
Denominator: 4xy - 3x - 2 = 4 * 6 * 3 - 3 * 6 - 2
4 * 6 * 3 = 72
3 * 6 = 18
So, the denominator becomes: 72 - 18 - 2 = 54 - 2 = 52
Therefore, the expression becomes: 47 / 52
So, the value of the expression is 47/52.
