Question

Evaluate -8x+5-2x-4+5x

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of the expression is - 9.

Evaluating the expression before simplifying is preferred because you only have to substitute once instead of substituting three times.

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 2

- 8x + 5 - 2x - 4 + 5x

= - 8x - 2x + 5x + 5 - 4

= - 10x + 5x + 1

= - 5x + 1

= - 5 ( 2 ) + 1

= - 10 + 1

= - 9
