Question

When x= 5 the value of the expression 20/-25 + x (x - 10) is

Answer 1

The answer is -25.8 because 5-10=-5, -5*5=-25, then you simplify fraction and add/subtract

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{-129}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an expression $\frac{20}{-25}+x(x-10)$. We are asked to evaluate our given expression, when $x=5$.

To evaluate our given expression, we will substitute $x=5$ in our given expression as:

$\frac{20}{-25}+5(5-10)$

$-\frac{4}{5}+5(-5)$

$-\frac{4}{5}-25$

Make a common denominator:

$-\frac{4}{5}-\frac{5*25}{5}$

$-\frac{4}{5}-\frac{125}{5}$

$\frac{-4-125}{5}$

$\frac{-129}{5}$

Therefore, the value of our given expression $\frac{-129}{5}$.
