Question

Evaluate the expression 3x - 17 when x= -12

Answer 1

-53

Explanation:

Since x= -12 you would have to replace the x in the equation with -12. (Start with 3x-17 End up with 3(-12) -17 ) So after replacing x with -12 you would solve. 3* -12= -36 and -36 -17= -53. So after all of that, your final answer would be -53.

Answer 2

3(-12)-17

we get -36 -17=-53
