Practice makes perfect

To evaluate the given expression for a = - 4, b = - 0.8, and d= 15, we should substitute these values into the expression and simplify as much as possible.

a-b/bd
- 4-(- 0.8)/- 0.8( 15)
- 4 + 0.8/- 0.8( 15)
â–¼
Simplify
- 3.2/- 0.8( 15)
- 3.2/- 0.8(0.2)
- 3.2/- 0.16
3.2/0.16
