Evaluate the expression for the given value of the variable(s).
5a + 5b; a = −6, b = −5
By substituting the values for a and b into the expression 5a + 5b, we get:
5(-6) + 5(-5)
= -30 + (-25)
= -55
Therefore, when a = -6 and b = -5, 5a + 5b = -55.
To evaluate the expression 5a + 5b, we substitute the values of a and b into the expression.
Given that a = -6 and b = -5, we can substitute these values into the expression:
5(-6) + 5(-5)
Now we simplify the expression:
= -30 + (-25)
= -55
Therefore, when a = -6 and b = -5, the value of the expression 5a + 5b is -55.
