df + d =

1 answer

To evaluate the expression \( df + d \) for \( d = -3 \) and \( f = 4.9 \), we first calculate \( df \):

\[ df = d \cdot f = -3 \cdot 4.9 \]

Now, calculate that:

\[ -3 \cdot 4.9 = -14.7 \]

Next, we add \( d \) to this result:

\[ df + d = -14.7 + (-3) \]

Calculating that gives:

\[ -14.7 - 3 = -17.7 \]

Thus, the evaluated expression is:

\[ \boxed{-17.7} \]
