Question

Evaluate -3.28 - (-4.4) + (-p) where p = 9.7

Answer 1

The evaluated answer for this equation is -8.58

Explanation:

We are given a value of p so we will use this value for the equation.

-3.28 - (-4.4) + (-p)

Replace p with 9.7

-3.28 - (-4.4) + (-9.7)

Since there is a double negative in front of 4.4, then that means that we are going to be adding -3.28 to 4.4

1.12 + (-9.7)

Subtract 1.42 from 9.7 because there is negative sign in front of 9.7

-8.58

Answer 2

-8.58

Explanation:

p = 9.7

=> -3.28 - (-4.4) + (-p)

=> -3.28 - (-4.4) + (- (9.7))

=> -3.28 - (-4.4) + (-9.7)

=> -3.28 - (-4.4) -9.7

=> -3.28 +4.4 -9.7

=> -12.98 +4.4

=> -8.58
