Question

What is the value of 11−3m11−3m , when m = 2?

Answer 1

does -3m11 mean \( -3 m^{11}\) ?

Answer 2

no i dont think so

Answer 3

details (unfortunately) matter
can you make a screen shot of the question?

Answer 4

k

Answer 5

oh, it's just
11- 3m

which means 11 - 3*m

if m was a number, you would use "order of operations" to first do
3 times m
then do 11 - answer

Answer 6

in other words, find the "m", and erase it. and write 2 in its place
do that in
11-3*m

can you try ?

Answer 7

its confusing

Answer 8

if you were given
3*m
and were told to erase m, what would you have left ?

Answer 9

nothing?

Answer 10

ohh 3

Answer 11

3*
is what I'm thinking

now put in 2 where the m was

Answer 12

5

Answer 13

no, don't do any arithmetic. we just want to erase the m, and write 2 where the m was
in
11 - 3*m

Answer 14

im so confused

Answer 15

can you simplify
11 - 3*2 ?

Answer 16

idk..

Answer 17

He is on the right track @shaima

Anyways, when you have a variable (m) and a given number (2), you want to replace the variable with the given number, so if we do that to our expression we will get \(\tt \color{blue}{11-3(2)}\)

Now following the order of operations, we need to multiply 3 and 2. What do you get when you multiply \(\tt \color{blue}{3\times 2}\)
