Exercise 15 Page 7

Substitute - 3 for w, 2.6 for y, and 13 for z.

- 13.4

Practice makes perfect

To evaluate the given expression for w= - 3, y= 2.6, and z= 13, we should substitute these values into the expression and simplify as much as possible.

9z-4y+2w
9( 1/3)-4( 2.6)+2( - 3)
9/3-4(2.6)+2(-3)
3-4(2.6)+2(-3)
3-10.4+2(-3)
3-10.4+(- 6)
3-10.4-6
- 13.4
