Evaluate the expression for g = –1.1.

Question

Write your answer as a decimal or whole number.

23.9g + 36 =

Answer 1

To evaluate the expression \( 23.9g + 36 \) for \( g = -1.1 \), we substitute \(-1.1\) for \( g \):

\[ 23.9(-1.1) + 36 \]

First, calculate \( 23.9 \times -1.1 \):

\[ 23.9 \times -1.1 = -26.29 \]

Now, add \( 36 \) to \(-26.29\):

\[ -26.29 + 36 = 9.71 \]

Thus, the value of the expression \( 23.9g + 36 \) for \( g = -1.1 \) is:

\[ \boxed{9.71} \]
