1 answer

To evaluate the expression \(5p - 2\) for each given value of \(p\), we will substitute the value of \(p\) into the expression.

  1. For \(p = -3\):

\[ 5(-3) - 2 = -15 - 2 = -17 \]

So the expression's value for \(p = -3\) is \(-17\).

  1. For \(p = 9\):

\[ 5(9) - 2 = 45 - 2 = 43 \]

So the expression's value for \(p = 9\) is \(43\).

Summary:

  • For \(p = -3\), the expression's value is \(-17\).
  • For \(p = 9\), the expression's value is \(43\).
