Question

Evaluate the expression shown for x = 9.

-5/6x +7.

A.-13 1/3.

B.-1/2.

C.7 1/3.

D.9 2/3

Answer 1

B. 1/2

Explanation:

Make 9 an improper fraction, then multiply by -5/6.

-5/6 times 9/1 = -45/6.

-45/6 cannot be simplified, so you make it a mixed number.

-7 1/2.

Add the 7 to -7 1/2 and that cancels out to 1/2
