Answer:

  • -2.5

Explanation:

Evaluate the expression:

  • b²/(a + 5)

When a= −15 and b=−5

Substitute values:

  • b²/(a + 5) =
  • (-5)² / (-15 + 5) =
  • 25/(-10) =
  • -2.5

------------------------------------------------------------------

In case the expression is b²/a + 5, the value is:

  • b²/a + 5 =
  • (-5)²/(-15) + 5 =
  • 25/(-15) + 5 =
  • - 5/3 + 5 =
  • 10/3
