Question

Please answer, I need help

Answer 1

3

Explanation:

This might look a bit confusing but its really simple when you break it down...

So what they're asking is to evaluate the problem (in other words, solve the problem.)

Step 1: Substitute the variables m = 4, p =5 and q = 3

P - (9 - (m+q)) OR

5 - (9 - ( 4 + 3)

Step 2 : Order of operation, solve in parenthesis first.

5 - (9 - ( 4 + 3))

( 9 - 7)

5 - ( 2 )

Step 3 : Solve

5 - 2 = 3

Answer 2

answer is 9

Explanation:

p - ( q - (m +q) )

make m = 4

p = 5

q = 3

5 - ( 3 - ( 4+3) )

5 - ( 3 - 7 )

5 - - 4

= 9
