Question

Evaluate the expression: a(b – c) if a = -8, b = 12, and c = 4

Answer 1

Answer:

-64

Step-by-step explanation:

a(b - c)

a = -8

b = 12

c = 4

So, you'd plug in those numbers:

-8(12 - 4)

You'd start within the parenthesis's, so:

(12 - 4), which equals (8)

-8(8)

= -64

Answer 2

Hey there!

$\large\text{a(b - c)}$

$\large\text{= -8(12 - 4)}$

$\large\text{12 - 4 = \bf 12}$

$\large\text{= -8(12)}$

$\large\textsf{ = \bf -64}$

$\huge\boxed{\textsf{Therefore, your answer is: -64}}\huge\checkmark$
