Answer 1

Answer:

if p=4 and q=-3

p-2q = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

p-2q

Given,

p=4, q=-3

Enter the values,

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

facts:

p=4

q=-3

so that means the equation is 4-2x-3

whenever you group numbers remember to group the sign with its number too eg;

4-(2x-3) is the wrong way of grouping the equation. instead do:

4(-2x-3) in which case according to BODMAS we start with the numbers in brackets (-2x-3). since the signs are the same the answer is positive. Always remember this whenever you are multiplying or dividing integers: if the signs of the integers are different, the answer will always be negative. if the signs of the integers are the same, the answer will always be positive. so -2x-3=6, and because the signs are the same, the sign on the 6 will be positive. now the equation is

4+6=10.

Hope that helped :)
