Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

    - 50 + (5 / 13)p         this says negative 50 plus 5/13 times p

if p = -26                      what does this epression evaluate to?

- 50 + (5 / 13) × p      p = -26      substitute the value of p into the expression

- 50 + (5 / 13) × (-26)      

- 50 + (5 (-26) / 13)                 I just rewrote the expression to make it clearer

                                               that the -26 in -26/1 and the  5 in 5 / 13    are

                                              both in the numerator over denominator 13

 - 50 + (5 (-26) / 13)              -26 / 13  evaluates to -2

 -50  + (5)(-2)    

 -50  + (-10)

 -50 - 10

 -60
