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

into their expression.

Kaleigh Hank Sonny
5x+7 5x2+7 5x+7

1 answer

Let's substitute \( x = 4 \) into each of the expressions for Kaleigh, Hank, and Sonny.

  1. Kaleigh's expression: \( 5x + 7 \)
    \[ 5(4) + 7 = 20 + 7 = 27 \]

  2. Hank's expression: \( 5x^2 + 7 \)
    \[ 5(4^2) + 7 = 5(16) + 7 = 80 + 7 = 87 \]

  3. Sonny's expression: \( 5x + 7 \)
    (Note: Sonny has the same expression as Kaleigh) \[ 5(4) + 7 = 20 + 7 = 27 \]

Now, summarizing the results:

  • Kaleigh: \( 27 \)
  • Hank: \( 87 \)
  • Sonny: \( 27 \)

So, Kaleigh and Sonny both get 27, while Hank gets 87.
