Question

Evaluate the expression %0D%0A4mn%0D%0A−2p%E2%80%8B when m = %0D%0A1%0D%0A2%E2%80%8B, n =−3,and p=3.

Answer 1

To evaluate the expression \(4mn - 2p\) given:

- \(m = 2\)
- \(n = -3\)
- \(p = 3\)

we start by substituting the given values into the expression:

1. Calculate \(mn\):
\[
mn = 2 \times (-3) = -6
\]

2. Next, calculate \(4mn\):
\[
4mn = 4 \times (-6) = -24
\]

3. Now, calculate \(2p\):
\[
2p = 2 \times 3 = 6
\]

4. Finally, plug these results into the expression \(4mn - 2p\):
\[
4mn - 2p = -24 - 6 = -30
\]

Thus, the value of the expression is \(\boxed{-30}\).
