Question

Evaluate the algebraic expression: (a - b) ÷ 11 when a = 20, and b = -2.

A) 22
B) 18
C) 20
D) 2

Answer 1

The algebraic expression (a - b) ÷ 11 with a = 20 and b = -2 evaluates to 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate the algebraic expression (a - b) ÷ 11 with a = 20 and b = -2, we substitute these values into the expression:

(20 - (-2)) ÷ 11

Simplifying the expression, we have:

(20 + 2) ÷ 11 = 22 ÷ 11 = 2

Therefore, the correct answer is 2.
