Question

3b - c +5 if c= - 4, b=2.

Answer 1

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer, plug the values of each variable into the equation and simplify. It may be easiest to plug one variable in at a time, simplify, then plug the next variable in. Remember, if the equation is asking you to subtract a negative number, the negatives cancel and you want to add the numbers.

b = 2          c = -4

3b - c + 5                                      <----- Original expression

3(2) - c + 5                                    <----- Plug 2 in for "b"

6 - c + 5                                        <----- Multiply 3 and 2

11 - c                                              <----- Add 6 and 5

11 - (-4)                                           <----- Plug -4 in for "c"

15                                                  <----- Add 11 and 4
