Question

The expression _ means 15 minus the product of 5 times the difference of p minus 6. If p = 8, then the value of the expression is _.

Answer 1

Answer:

5

Explanation:

     15 minus the product of 5 times the difference of p minus 6

 Writing expression:

      15 - [5 x (p -6)]

Since p = 8, insert the parameters and solve;

    15 - [5 x (8 - 6)]

= 15 - (5 x 2)

 = 15 - 10

 = 5
