- | -5 + 2 | = - 3....the reason it is -3 is because the first negative sign falls outside of the absolute value bars.

if it would have been | - (-5 + 2) | ur answer would have been 3 because the negative sign fell in ur absolute value bars.

Evaluate 5x²-3(x-2)+x for x=3

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Evaluate 5 x^2 - 3 (x - 2) + x where x = 3:

5 x^2 - 3 (x - 2) + x = 5×3^2 - 3 (3 - 2) + 3

3^2 = 9:

5×9 - 3 (3 - 2) + 3

3 - 2 = 1:

5×9 - 3 + 3

5×9 = 45:

45 - 3 + 3

45 + 3 = 48:

48 - 3

| 4 | 8

- | | 3

| 4 | 5:
