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

-3:___
9:___

3 answers

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

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

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

So the evaluations are:

  • For \( p = -3 \): \(-17\)
  • For \( p = 9 \): \(43\)

Final answers: -3: \(-17\) 9: \(43\)

are you sure

Yes, let's double-check the calculations for the expression \(5p - 2\) for each value:

  1. For \(p = -3\): \[ 5(-3) - 2 = -15 - 2 = -17 \] This part is correct.

  2. For \(p = 9\): \[ 5(9) - 2 = 45 - 2 = 43 \] This part is also correct.

So, the evaluations are confirmed:

  • For \(p = -3\): \(-17\)
  • For \(p = 9\): \(43\)
