Question

Please help me. Question 2

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

The coefficient of a variable is the number that the variable is multiplied by.

In the given expression:

`(5u + 3)/(2)`

we can identify the coefficient of the variable
`u` as 5.

Next, we can find the value of the expression when u = -3 with the following steps:

`(5u + 3)/(2)`

↓ plugging in -3 for
`u`

`(5(-3) + 3)/(2)`

↓ executing the multiplication ...
`5* (-3) = -15`

`\frac{-15+3}2`

↓ executing the addition ...
`-15 + 3 = 3 - 15 = -12`

`(-12)/(2)`

↓ executing the division ...
`(-12) / 2 = -6`

`\boxed{-6}`
