Question

2( 10 - a^2 ) + 7a If ( a = 4 )Evaluate each expression

Answer 1

Given:

`2(10-a^2)+7a`

when a = 4, substitute for a in the expression;

`\begin{gathered} 2(10-a^2)+7a=2(10-4^2)+7(4) \\ =2(10-16)+28 \\ =2(-6)+28 \\ =-12+28 \\ =16 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, if (a = 4), then

`2(10-a^2)+7a=16`

Hence, the answer is 16.
