Question

What is value of -8(5a 9), if a = 3/5)?

Answer 1

I can’t decide which sign is in the operation so I did both

Answer 2

To find the value of -8(5a + 9) when a = 3/5, we can substitute the value of a into the expression and simplify.

Let's plug in a = 3/5:

-8(5 * (3/5) + 9)

Now let's simplify:

-8(3 + 9)

-8(12)

This gives us:

-96

So, the value of -8(5a + 9) when a = 3/5 is -96.
