Question

The expression below is equal to -20g plus a constant term. -8(2.5g-4.25)+5.25 What is the value of the constant term?

Answer 1

We can simplify the expression -8(2.5g-4.25)+5.25 by distributing the -8:

-8(2.5g-4.25)+5.25 = -20g + 34 + 5.25

Simplifying further, we can combine the constant terms:

-8(2.5g-4.25)+5.25 = -20g + 39.25

So the value of the constant term is 39.25.
