Question

Evaluate the expression if a = 4, b = 9, and c = 1.

3b÷c1−a

–27

–9

9

27

Answer 1

-9

Explanation:

Substitute the values into the expression.

= 3(9)÷(1)1-4

evaluate/simplify each part first.

= 27÷1-4

= 27÷(-3)

simplify (positive divided by a negative is a negative)

= -9

Answer 2

Given - a = 4

b = 9

c = 1

To find - Value of equation

Solution -

3b ÷ c^1 - a

Putting the value of a,b and c in the equation

3(9) ÷ (1)^1 - 4

27 ÷ 1 - 4

27 ÷ (-3)

27 × (1 /(-3)

27/(-3)

(-9)
