1 answer

To evaluate the expression \( c + \frac{2a}{b} \) for the values \( a = 5 \), \( b = 3 \), and \( c = 2 \), we first substitute the values into the expression.

  1. Substitute \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \):

    \[ c + \frac{2a}{b} = 2 + \frac{2 \times 5}{3} \]

  2. Calculate \( 2 \times 5 \):

    \[ 2 \times 5 = 10 \]

  3. Now substitute back into the expression:

    \[ 2 + \frac{10}{3} \]

  4. To add \( 2 \) and \( \frac{10}{3} \), we convert \( 2 \) into a fraction with a denominator of \( 3 \):

    \[ 2 = \frac{6}{3} \]

  5. Now add the fractions:

    \[ \frac{6}{3} + \frac{10}{3} = \frac{6 + 10}{3} = \frac{16}{3} \]

The evaluated expression is

\[ \frac{16}{3} \]

So, the final answer is

\[ \frac{16}{3} \]
