-5g - 6 for g = -2
A. 4
B. 16
C. 10
D.-13
HELP
(-5)(-2)-6 = 10-6 = 4
Thank you Steve!!
To find the value of the expression -5g - 6 when g = -2, we substitute -2 for g in the expression and evaluate it.
Substituting g = -2, we have:
-5(-2) - 6
To evaluate this expression, we follow the order of operations (also known as PEMDAS/BODMAS). According to the order of operations, we first perform the multiplication, then the subtraction:
-5(-2) = 10
Substituting this back into the expression, we have:
10 - 6 = 4
Therefore, the value of the expression -5g - 6 when g = -2 is 4.
So, the correct answer is A. 4.
