Question

How do the expressions 2q^2-3p and 2(p+q)/q Compare when p=8 and q=4?

Answer with a symbol :)

Answer 1

2q to the power of 2 - 3p - 2(p + q / q)
64 - 24 - 3
37

Answer 2

2q^2-3p > 2(p+q)/q

Explanation:

You want to compare 2q^2-3p and 2(p+q)/q when (p, q) = (8, 4).

Evaluation

To find the value of the expression, put the numbers in place of the corresponding variables, and do the arithmetic.

2q^2 -3p

2(4)^2 -3(8) = 2(16) -3(8) = 32 -24 = 8

2(p+q)/q

2(8+4)/4 = 2(12)/4 = 24/4 = 6

The first expression is greater than (>) the second expression.
