Question

7 - 2x if x = -4 And show your work

Answer 1

Answer: 15

Step-by-step explanation: To evaluate an expression, we plug the value of the variable into the expression and simplify.

Since we have 7 - 2x and x is -4, we have 7 - 2(-4).

Simplifying from here, 2(-4) is -8 so we have 7 - (-8).

Now, remember that a a minus sign followed by a

negative sign turns the two signs into a plus sign.

So 7 - (-8) can be thought of as 7 + (+8) which is 15.
