a=-5.4 and b=-3.8
-6b+a
-6(-3.8) + (-5.4) = 22.8 + (-5.4) = 17.4
To evaluate the expression -6b + a, substitute the values of a and b into the expression.
Given:
a = -5.4
b = -3.8
Substitute these values into the expression:
-6(-3.8) + (-5.4)
Perform the multiplication first:
22.8 + (-5.4)
Simplify the addition:
22.8 - 5.4 = 17.4
So, -6b + a evaluates to 17.4.
