Question

Evaluate the expression if a=3/4, b=-8, c=-2, and d=3

Answer 1

8[3/4 + (-2 - 3)^2]

First, solve the parentheses:
8[3/4 + -5^2]

Then, solve the exponent:
8[3/4 + 25]

Then, solve the brackets:
8[25.75]

Lastly, multiply:
206 is your answer

Answer 2

Answer: 206

Explanation:

a=3/4, b=-8, c=-2, d=3

-b[a+(c-d)^2]=

-(-8)[3/4+(-2-3)^2]=

8[3/4+(-5)^2]=

8[3/4+25]=

8*3/4 + 200=

24/4 + 200=

6+200=206
