​

5 answers

To evaluate the expression \( \frac{1}{2} b + 58 \times 2 \) when \( b = 114 \), we can follow these steps:

  1. Substitute \( b = 114 \) into the expression: \[ \frac{1}{2} (114) + 58 \times 2 \]

  2. Calculate \( \frac{1}{2} (114) \): \[ \frac{1}{2} (114) = 57 \]

  3. Calculate \( 58 \times 2 \): \[ 58 \times 2 = 116 \]

  4. Now, combine the results: \[ 57 + 116 = 173 \]

Thus, the value of the expression is \( \boxed{173} \).

is that correct

Yes, the evaluation is correct.

To recap the steps:

  1. Substitute \( b = 114 \) into the expression \( \frac{1}{2} b + 58 \times 2 \): \[ \frac{1}{2} (114) + 58 \times 2 \]

  2. Calculate \( \frac{1}{2} (114) = 57 \).

  3. Calculate \( 58 \times 2 = 116 \).

  4. Combine the results: \[ 57 + 116 = 173 \]

So the final answer is indeed 173.
