Answer:


65

Explanation:

Given the following question:


5a-9(b-c)
a = 4
b = 2
c = 7

In order to find the answer, we need to substitute the variables with the numbers given, and then solve using PEMDAS.


5*4-9*(2-7)

2-7=-5

5*4-9*-5

5*4=20

20-9*-5

9*-5=-45

20--45

20+45=65

=65

Hope this helps.
