Question

Evaluate the expression for g = 14.7.

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:

\[
\boxed{-10.35}
\]
