Question

If v=5 and w=24, what is 5v+w?
​

Answer 1

49

Step-by-step explanation

5v + w

5(5) + 24

25 + 24

49

First you have to substitute the variables with numbers given (v=5 ; w=24)

Start with multiplying 5*5 which equals 25, then finish off with adding the two numbers.

Answer 2

5v+w = 5(5)+24 = 49

Explanation:

As you can see we have two variables

v & w

And we have no coefficient to w but we do to v which is...

5

So... we must replace the variables (v & w) replacing them with the numbers you gave us, 5 for v and 24 for w.

The sentence is

5v+w= ?

If you replace v with 5 it becomes...

5(5)+w

When seeing a number & a variable or numerous variables that placed right next to each other, it means that the number and the variable(s) are to be multiplied together.

So now we have 5(5)+w meaning 5 times 5 plus the variable w

The second value you gave us is 24 which is supposed to be subbed in for w.

So... when we replace w with 24 we get...

5(5)+24

Now we evaluate the expression.

According to PEMDAS... since we have no parenthesis or exponents we do m, multiplication first. 5*5=25

We are now left with...

25+24

25 + 24 = 49.

So...

5v+w is now 5(5)+24 which is equal to...

49

Hopefully this helped you!

Have a good day!
