Question

What is the result if 3x-9 is evaluated when x = -5?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

I wonder if it is the minus that is causing the problem?

Let x = - 5

3*(-5) - 9

-15 - 9

This is a money question. If you are 15 dollars in debt and you spend another 9, where are you? (In the company of the American government. They do this all the time).

- 15 - 9 = - 24
