9-2(4x+5) if x=-4
It’s number 2 in picture

Answer 1

If x = 4 we just substitute all the x's by 4:

9 - 2 (4(4) + 5) = → we solve for 4(4)

9 - 2 (16 + 5) = → we use the distrubutive property

9 - 52 + 10 = → we solve for 9 - 52

-43 + 10 = → we solve for -43 + 10

-33 → is the final answer

Hope it helped,
