Answer

$-\dfrac{5}{3}$

Work Step by Step

Using the given values of the variables ($x=-2,$ $y=0,$ and $z=3$), the given expression, $ \dfrac{x^2-y+2z}{3x} ,$ evaluates to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} \dfrac{(-2)^2-(0)+2(3)}{3(-2)} \\\\= \dfrac{4-0+6}{-6} \\\\= \dfrac{10}{-6} \\\\= -\dfrac{\cancel{2}\cdot5}{\cancel{2}\cdot3} \\\\= -\dfrac{5}{3} .\end{array}
