Question

Evaluate the expression below when g = -6.
-3g - 2 -(-4g + 10)

A) -18
B) 2
C) 30
D) 54

Answer 1

Simplify this:

-3(-6) - 2 -(-4(-6) + 10)

18 - 2 - 24 + 10

16 - 24 + 10

-8 + 10

= 2

Answer 2

a1234, you made an error with distributing that negative through

Answer 3

can you explain a little more what it is that you did? or how you solve it please

Answer 4

you first distribute the negitive
which would make the parathensis 4g + 10) then you would replace g with -6 so the problem would read -3(-6) - 2 + 4(-6) - 10
then you would multiply into the g which would then make the problem 18 - 2 - 24 - 10
you would then cut it down more by woorking the problem out so 18 -2 equals 16 then minus 24 which would equal -8 then minus 10 would make it -18 there for your answer is -18

Answer 5

WALAHA!

Answer 6

Basically everytime you see a 'g', you replace it with -6 (since g = -6)

So that's why you go from

-3g - 2 -(-4g + 10)

to

-3(-6) - 2 -(-4(-6) + 10)

Answer 7

i just told her let her read mine then bicker!

Answer 8

from there, you evaluate -3(-6) - 2 -(-4(-6) + 10) using the steps shown above

Answer 9

and line 2 in a1234's work should be 18 - 2 - 24 - 10
