Question
Evaluate each expression when a=3 and b=8. Order the results from least to greatest.

Answer 1

`(b+1)/(a) , (6)/(a)+(b)/(4), a+(1)/(4)b, ab-17, (b)/(2) +4, 5a-6`

Explanation:
1) When b=8,

`(b)/(2)+4=(8)/(2)= 4+4= 8`

2) When a=3,

5a-6= 5(3)-6

= 15-6

= 9

3) When a=3 and b=8,

`(b+1)/(a) = (8+1)/(3) = (9)/(3) = 3`

4) When a=3 and b=8,

ab-17= (3)(8)-17

= 24-17

= 7

5) When a=3 and b=8,

`a+(1)/(4) b= 3+(1)/(4) (8)= 3+2=5`

6) When a=3 and b=8,

`(6)/(a)+(b)/(4)= (6)/(3)+(8)/(4)= 2+2= 4`
