Question

Evaluate -3+y/5 when y = –2.5.

I'm coming up with -1.1

OK so that answer is incorrect. Try using order of operations.

Answer 2

Like what Brill said, do order of operations. Divide -2.5 by 5 first, then add it by -3.

Answer 3

What is -3-(1/2) ?

Answer 4

-3 + -2.5 = -5.5
-5.5 / 5 = -1.1

No it's -2.5/5 THEN subtract it from 3
