Evaluate the algebraic expression 5p – 2 for each given value.

Value of p​ Expression's Value​
​–3

​9

1 answer

To evaluate the expression \(5p - 2\) for each given value of \(p\), we will substitute each value into the expression and calculate the result.

  1. When \(p = -3\): \[ 5(-3) - 2 = -15 - 2 = -17 \]

  2. When \(p = 9\): \[ 5(9) - 2 = 45 - 2 = 43 \]

Now, we can summarize the evaluations:

  • For \(p = -3\), the expression's value is \(-17\).
  • For \(p = 9\), the expression's value is \(43\).

So, the final results are:

  • Value of p = -3: Expression's Value = -17
  • Value of p = 9: Expression's Value = 43
