Solution

Let's evaluate each expression for x=6x = 6 and y=3y = 3 and see which are greater than 100.

Expression A:

6xy=6(6)(3)=1086xy = 6(6)(3) = 108 This is greater than 100.

Expression B:

5(4x+3y)=5(4(6)+3(3))=5(24+9)=5(33)=1655(4x + 3y) = 5(4(6) + 3(3)) = 5(24 + 9) = 5(33) = 165 This is greater than 100.

Expression C:

3x22y=3(62)2(3)=3(36)6=1086=1023x^2 - 2y = 3(6^2) - 2(3) = 3(36) - 6 = 108 - 6 = 102 This is greater than 100.

Expression D:

2x35y=2(63)5(3)=2(216)15=43215=4172x^3 - 5y = 2(6^3) - 5(3) = 2(216) - 15 = 432 - 15 = 417 This is greater than 100.

Conclusion:

All four expressions (A, B, C, D) are greater than 100.

The correct answer is: A, B, C, D.

Would you like more details or have any questions?

Here are 5 follow-up questions:

  1. How would these expressions change if x=2x = 2 and y=4y = 4?
  2. What happens if you only increase the value of yy while keeping x=6x = 6?
  3. Can you simplify expression B before evaluating it for x=6x = 6 and y=3y = 3?
  4. How do you determine when to use substitution versus simplification in evaluating expressions?
  5. What happens if we swap the values of xx and yy in all the expressions?

Tip: When solving algebraic expressions, always follow the correct order of operations (PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction).
