Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
- 50 + (5 / 13)p this says negative 50 plus 5/13 times p
if p = -26 what does this epression evaluate to?
- 50 + (5 / 13) × p p = -26 substitute the value of p into the expression
- 50 + (5 / 13) × (-26)
- 50 + (5 (-26) / 13) I just rewrote the expression to make it clearer
that the -26 in -26/1 and the 5 in 5 / 13 are
both in the numerator over denominator 13
- 50 + (5 (-26) / 13) -26 / 13 evaluates to -2
-50 + (5)(-2)
-50 + (-10)
-50 - 10
-60
