Given :

how to evaluate 4(x+2−5x) when x=2

To Find :

  • The value after evaluating

Solution :

  • We are provided that x equals 2 so have to put 2 instead of x to the desired result

4(x + 2 - 5x)

Putting the value of x we get

4(2 + 2 - 5 × 2)

According to BODMAS multiplication comes first then addition

So 5 × 2 will be solved after that we will simplify 2 added with 2

4(2 + 2 - 10)

4(4 - 10)

4(-6)

- 24

Henceforth, the required answer is -24
