Question

Evaluate the expression when b = -4 and y = 6 . -y + 8b

Answer 1

-38

Explanation:

Given:

b = -4

y = 6

Plug in the corresponding numbers to the corresponding variables:

-y + 8b

-(6) + 8(-4)

Remember to follow PEMDAS. first, multiply 8 with -4:

8 x -4 = -32

Next, combine by "adding":

-6 + (-32) = -6 - 32 = -38

-38 is your answer.
