Question:

Find the value of 3a + 2b if a = 4 and b = (-9) .

Solution:

Let the following expression


3a\text{ + 2b}

now, if a = 4 and b = -9, and we substitute them in the previous expression, we obtain:


3(4)\text{ + 2(-9) = 12 - 18 = -6}

then, we can conclude that the correct answer is:


-6
