Question

Evaluate the expeterien n + (-5) for each value of n.

Answer 1

Q24: 307
Q26: -7/12

Explanation:

Our expression in terms of n is:

n - 5

We have been given two values of n so let's consider them one at a time:

n = 312

To evaluate the expression for this value of n, replace n with 312 in the expression:

(312) - 5 = 307

n= -7/12

To evaluate the expression for this value of n, replace n with -7/12 in the expression:

(-7/12) - 5 = -67/12

Answer 2

24. 307

26.
`\sf -(67)/(12)`

Explanation:

In order to evaluate, we need to substitute the given value in the given expression.

In this case:

Given expression: n + (-5)

For 24.

when n = 312

Substituting value in above expression, we get

312 +(-5) = 312- 5 = 307

Note:

When we multiply positive and negative sigh then it will be negative sigh.

Therefore, the answer is 307.

Similarly:

For 26.

When
`\sf n = -(7)/(12)`

Substituting value in above expression, we get

`\sf -(7)/(12) +(-5)`

Simplify it:

`\sf (-7-5* 12 )/(12 )-5`

`\sf -(67)/(12)`

Therefore, answer is:
`\sf -(67)/(12)`
