Question

What is the value of this expression when t = -12? -3|t − 8| + 1.5

Answer 1

-59.5

Explanation:

We are given the expression

-3|t − 8| + 1.5

t = -12

Subtituting -12 for t in the expression, we have:

-3|-12 - 8| + 1.5

-3|-20| + 1.5

Note : |-20| = 20

-3 × 20 + 1.5

= -60 + 1.5

= -59.5

The value of the expression = -59.5
