Question

Part 1 of 2

Find the numerical value of the rational expression when x = 2 and x = -3.
11x+6
2
2x + 28x + 48

Answer 1

I got 28, -27, 108, and -42. See explanation for the answer for which problems

Explanation:

11x + 6 = ?

2x + 28x + 48 = ?

x = 2 and x = -3

Let's start with the first equation

Using x = 2

11(2) + 6 = ?

22 + 6 = 28

Using x = -3

11(-3) + 6 =?

-33 + 6 = -27

Second equation

Using x = 2

2(2) + 28(2) + 48 = ?

4 + 56 + 48 = 108

Using x = -3

2(-3) + 28(-3) + 48 = ?

-6 - 84 + 48 = -42

Answer 2

28, -27, 108, -42

Explanation:

when x=2, 11x+6 = 22+6=28,

2x+28x+48= 30x+48=60+48=108

when x=-3, 11x+6 = -33+6=-27,

2x+28x+48= 30x+48=-90+48=-42
