Answer: 27.62
Explanation:
plug in 2.3 wherever 'n' is
I'm assuming that the '2' in 8n2 is an exponent
2.3 + 8(2.3)² - 17 =
Using PEMDAS
start out with exponent since there isn't any parenthesis
(2.3)² = 5.29
2.3 + 8(5.29) - 17
move on to multiplication
8(5.29) = 42.32
2.3 + 42.32 - 17
with addition and subtraction, you do whichever comes first and since this equation starts with addition we'll start there
2.3 + 42.32 = 44.62
then the subtraction
44.62 - 17 = 27.62
