Respuesta :

Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given an expression and values to be put into it.

Simply substitute the values in instead of [tex]x[/tex] and [tex]y[/tex].

[tex](x-y)^2[/tex]

When [tex]x=5[/tex] and [tex]y=-1[/tex]:

[tex](5-(-1))^2 = (5+1)^2=(6)^2=36[/tex] - Note: Be careful with negative signs here. Two negatives make a positive.
