$color(magenta)(4.3)$

If $color(red)w=color(red)6$
and $color(blue)x=color(blue)(0.4)$
and $color(green)y=color(green)(1/2$

then $color(red)w-3color(blue)x+color(green)y$

$color(white)("XX")=color(red)(6)-3 xx (color(blue)0.4) +color(green)(1/2)$

$color(white)("XX")=5-1.2+0.5$

$color(white)("XX")=3.8 +0.5$

$color(white)("XX")=4.3$
