Question

Evaluate the expression for p = –52.

–15(53 + p) =

Answer 1

I don’t know if ur asking for 52 or 53 but I will do both just in case if it’s the other

If it’s -15(52+p)
first you would have rearrange terms
which would be -15(p+52) then just distribute and you would get -15p-780

but if it’s -15(53+p)
you would do the same thing as the first solution which is rearrange terms and get -15(p+53) and distribute and your answer would be -15p-795

I hope this helps you.

Answer 2

-15

Explanation:

Substitute -52 for p and solve using PEMDAS

-15(53 + -52)

= -15(1)

= -15
