If x=3, y=-4, and z=2, what is the value of 2x-y?

14

6

-10

10

To find the value of \(2x - y\) when \(x = 3\) and \(y = -4\), we start by substituting the given values into the expression.

First, calculate \(2x\):

\[

2x = 2(3) = 6

\]

Next, substitute the value of \(y\):

\[

2x - y = 6 - (-4)

\]

Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding its positive:

\[

6 - (-4) = 6 + 4 = 10

\]

Thus, the value of \(2x - y\) is 10. This confirms that the correct answer is indeed the one that corresponds to this calculation, which is 10.
