Answer:

  x - y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of the first expression is negative:

  2 - 3 = -1

All of the other expressions give positive values, so are larger.

The expression with the smallest value is x-y.

_____

If x(y) is supposed to mean x^y, the exponentiation operator is needed. Otherwise, it is interpreted as x·y.

x(y)=. 2(3)=6

x+y= 2+3= 5

Therefore, x-y has the smallest value, that is -1.
