Evaluate the expression, using the given value of the variable. z ÷ 3 – 5z + 4(z – 2) when z = 12 A. –16 B. –96 C. –14 D. –98

Respuesta :

12 ÷ 3 - 5(12) + 4(12 - 2)
= 4 - 60 + 4(10)
= -56 +40
= -16
First, you would substitute z with 12 since z = 12.
12 ÷ 3 - 5 (12) + 4 (12 - 2).
Then, you would follow the order of operations.
12 ÷ 3 - 60 + 40
4 - 60 + 40
-56 + 40
-16
So your answer is -16.
