Three classmates are working with three different expressions. Each classmate substitutes in the value x=4
into their expression.

Eleanor Parker Nellie
5x−10
5x2+3
5x−40
When substituting in the value x=4
, Eleanor would get a result of Response area, Parker would get a result of Response area, and Nellie would get a result of Response area



Response areaexpression produced the largest value.​​​​​​

1 answer

Let's substitute the value \( x = 4 \) into each classmate's expression.

  1. Eleanor's Expression: \[ 5x - 10 = 5(4) - 10 = 20 - 10 = 10 \]

  2. Parker's Expression: \[ 5x^2 + 3 = 5(4^2) + 3 = 5(16) + 3 = 80 + 3 = 83 \]

  3. Nellie's Expression: \[ 5x - 40 = 5(4) - 40 = 20 - 40 = -20 \]

Now we can insert the results obtained from the calculations into the response areas.

  • Eleanor would get a result of 10.
  • Parker would get a result of 83.
  • Nellie would get a result of -20.

Now, to identify the expression that produced the largest value:

  • Parker's expression (5x² + 3) produced the largest value of 83.

So the completed response will look like this:

When substituting in the value \( x = 4 \), Eleanor would get a result of 10, Parker would get a result of 83, and Nellie would get a result of -20.

Parker's expression produced the largest value.
