Evaluate. Write in simplest form.
6-b/3a
a=10
a=-9
My answer is 2 or 5...I'm not sure
Does b = -9?
6-b/3a
(6 + 9) / (3/10)
15 / (3/10)
15 * (10/3) = 50
Yes b= -9
To evaluate the given expression, we substitute the value of 'a' into the expression and then simplify it.
1. Let's substitute a = 10:
6 - b / (3 * 10) ===> 6 - b / 30
Since we don't have the value of 'b', we cannot simplify the expression any further without additional information.
2. Now, let's substitute a = -9:
6 - b / (3 * -9) ===> 6 - b / -27
Again, without knowing the value of 'b', we cannot simplify the expression further.
Therefore, we cannot provide a specific numerical answer for the expression 6 - b / (3a) when a is equal to 10 or -9, as it depends on the value of 'b'.
