Explanation

To find the value of 2x + 3y when x = 3 and y = 2, we substitute these values into the expression and perform the calculations.

Given:

x = 3

y = 2

Substituting these values into the expression:

2x + 3y = 2(3) + 3(2)

Simplifying the expression:

2x + 3y = 6 + 6

Calculating the sum:

2x + 3y = 12

Therefore, when x = 3 and y = 2, 2x + 3y equals 12.
