See full explanation below:

Explanation:

To evaluate this you substitute as follows:

#color(red)(3)# for #w#

#color(blue)(6)# for #x#

#color(green)(5)# for #y#

Note: #z# is not used in the expression and therefore will not be substituted:

#13color(green)(y) + color(red)(w)color(blue)(x)#

Becomes:

#(13 xx color(green)(5)) + (color(red)(3) xx color(blue)(6)) ->#

#65 + 18 ->#

#83#
