Evaluate the Algebraic Expression

Hi Ali, let's solve this expression together by substituting the given values.

We are given that x equals five and y equals negative three. We need to evaluate the expression, starting with these substitutions.

Let's substitute x equals five and y equals negative three into the first part, x times y minus y.

Inside the parentheses, five times negative three is negative fifteen. Subtracting negative three is the same as adding three.

Negative fifteen plus three is negative twelve. So, the first part is negative twelve squared, which equals one hundred forty-four.

Now, let's focus on the second part of the expression: four times the quantity x minus two y.
