Evaluate the following expression if b = 114.

Question

1/2b + 58 x 2

​

Answer 1

To evaluate the expression \( \frac{1}{2}b + 58 \times 2 \) with \( b = 114 \), we start by substituting the value of \( b \):

1. Substitute \( b = 114 \) into the expression:

\[ \frac{1}{2} \times 114 + 58 \times 2 \]

2. Calculate \( \frac{1}{2} \times 114 \):

\[ \frac{114}{2} = 57 \]

3. Calculate \( 58 \times 2 \):

\[ 58 \times 2 = 116 \]

4. Now, add the two results together:

\[ 57 + 116 = 173 \]

Thus, the value of the expression is:

\[ \boxed{173} \]
