Question

Evaluate 6−b3a, for a = 10, b = –9 .

Write in simplest form.

Answer 1

`\frac { 1 } { 2 }`

Explanation:

We are given the following expression and we are to evaluate it when the value of a is 10 and b is -9:

`\frac { 6 - b } { 3 a }`

Substituting the given values in the above expression to get:

`\frac { 6 - (-9) } { 3 * 10 }`

`\frac { 1 5 } { 3 0 }`

`\frac { 1 } { 2 }`

Therefore, the simplified form of the given expression that we get after evaluating it when a is 10 and b is -9 is
`\frac { 1 } { 2 }`.
