Question

Evaluate the expression 4mn(m-2n+p) for m = 1, n = -2, and p = 3.

A) 12
B) -24
C) 48
D) -96

Answer 1

After substituting m = 1, n = -2, and p = 3 into the expression 4mn(m-2n+p) and simplifying, the correct answer is found to be -64.

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate the expression 4mn(m-2n+p) with given values of m = 1, n = -2, and p = 3 we simply substitute these values into the expression:

• 
  
• 
  
• 
  

Now, substituting we get:

4mn(m-2n+p) = 4 × 1 × (-2)×((1) - 2×(-2) + (3))

Calculate the values within the parentheses first:

(1) - 2×(-2) + (3) = 1 + 4 + 3 = 8

Now multiply by 4mn:

4 × 1 × (-2) × 8 = -8 × 8 = -64

Therefore, the correct answer is -64.
