Question

What is r+s+t when r = 26, s = –12, and t = –8? a. 6 b. 22 c. 30 d. 46

Answer 1

All you have to do to solve this problem is insert the integer for the variable in the expression.

So, instead of having the variable expression r+s+t, you would have the integer expression 26-12-8.

If you combine 26 and -12, you get 14-8.

If you subtract 14-8, you get 6.

Your final answer is a. 6.
