Question

PLEASE HELP

Consider the expressions (3m+2n−6) and (−4−6m+7n).

Part A


What is the sum of the expressions for n=−2 and m=5?


The sum is

Answer 1

5, -20

Explanation:

Given the equation (3m+2n−6) and (−4−6m+7n).

Also, given that we're told that

n = -2 and

m = 5, if we take a rather direct approach by substituting like for like, we have

(3m+2n−6) = (3 * 5 + 2 * -2 - 6)

(3m+2n−6) = 15 - 4 - 6

(3m+2n−6) = 15 - 10

(3m+2n−6) = 5

(−4−6m+7n) = (-4 - 6 * 5 + 7 * 2)

(−4−6m+7n) = -4 - 30 + 14

(−4−6m+7n) = -34 + 14

(−4−6m+7n) = -20

Therefore, we proceed to conclude that the answers are 5 and -20 respectively
