Asked by help please

evaluate the expression when a = 4 b = -5 and c = -8

-b + c =

Answered by Brady
Where does the "a = 4" fall into this algebraic equation? Is it before the "-b"? Or does the equation equal "a"?

Sorry, just a little confused here.
Answered by help please
i have no idea, that is what i was confused about.
Answered by Brady
Well, I'll try to help out as much as I can with the info provided.

First possible equation:
-b + c
First, substitute values:
-5 + -8 =
Next, add.
-5 + -8 = -13


Second possible equation:
a - (b + c) =
First, substitute values:
4 - (-5 + -8) =
Next, solve using ordering of PEMDAS.
4 - (-5 + -8) =
4 - (-13) = 17

These are the only two equations and answers that I could come up with. Is this on paper, or is it on a online?

I hope this helps! :)

Honestly, if I were you, I would talk to your teacher about there possibly being an error in this problem. Have you tried checking with your teacher about it?

If not, you probably should. However, if you can't talk to your teacher about it, you might want to consider using one of the answers above. I would probably pick the second one above, rather than the first one.

I was thinking the second one too, and yes I think i'll ask my teacher about it. Thanks for your help :)

Can you help with this?
