Question

Evaluate the expression when a =3 and x = - 5-8a + x

Answer 1

We have an expression:

$-8a+x$

We have to evaluate it when a = 3 and x = -5. To do that we replace a and x by its values and calculate:

$\begin{gathered} -8(3)+(-5) \\ -24-5 \\ -29 \end{gathered}$

Answer: the expression value is -29
