Question

Use the expression, X^2-7
What is the value of the expression above when n=5

Answer 1

18

Explanation:

X^2 - 7 =

Since we need to evaluate the expression when X = 5, we replace X with 5.

= 5^2 - 7

Now, according to the correct order of operations, we need to do the exponent first. 5^2 = 5 * 5 = 25

= 25 - 7

Finally, we subtract.

= 18

Answer: 18
