Question

*HELP* Select the correct answer. What is the value of this expression when t = -12? -3|t − 8| + 1.5 A. 61.5 B. 13.5 C. -10.5 D. -58.5

Answer 1

Answer: D

Step-by-step explanation:

If we substitute -12 into this equation we get:

$-3[-12-8]+1.5$

$-3[-20]+1.5$

Because -20 is in absolute value, we simply just use 20.

Thus,

$-3(20)+1.5\\= -60+1.5\\= -58.5$
