Question

will give you a medal Evaluate the expression when p=-24 and q=4
p/2q

A.


–48


B.


–3


C.
3


D.
48

Answer 1

Okay. So if p = -24 you know that those two are exactly the same thing, so you can put -24 anywhere theres a p, and you can put p anywhere theres a 24.

Answer 2

The same is true for q and 4.

Answer 3

So, why don't we try that? A number next to a letter means to multiply them, so putting p in for -24 and q for 4 gives us -24 dicided by 2x 4
