Answer:

33

Explanation:

What is the value of 3(b-2c) if b is 5 and c is -3?

Well, we know that b=5 and c=-3. We can go ahead and plug this in into the expression.

3[5-2(-3)]

Following the rules of PEMDAS, we multiply the 2 and -3, which results in -6.

3[5-(-6)]

5-(-6)= 5+6= 11, then it will leave use with:

3(11).

3x11=33, which is our final answer.
