Evaluate the expression for g = 14.7.

Question

Write your answer as a decimal or whole number.

–2.5g + 26.4 =

Answer 1

To evaluate the expression \(-2.5g + 26.4\) for \(g = 14.7\), we can substitute 14.7 for \(g\):

\[ -2.5(14.7) + 26.4 \]

Now we calculate \(-2.5 \times 14.7\):

\[ -2.5 \times 14.7 = -36.75 \]

Next, we add 26.4 to \(-36.75\):

\[ -36.75 + 26.4 = -10.35 \]

So, the evaluated expression is:

\[ \boxed{-10.35} \]
