Explanation:

Replace every x with -3

Then use the order of operations (PEMDAS) to simplify

y = -2x^2 + x - 5

y = -2(-3)^2 + (-3) - 5 ... x replaced with -3

y = -2(9) - 3 - 5

y = -18 - 3 - 5

y = -21 - 5

y = -26

-26

Step-by-step explanation:

1. plug in -3 for all x's

  -2(-3)^2 + (-3) -5

2. combine like terms

  -2(-3)^2 - 8

3. pEmdas. deal with exponent first (remember: only affect the 3, since it's in parentheses! also when you square a negative number, it becomes positive!)

  -2(9) - 8

4. peMdas. multiply -2 and 9 next.

  -18 - 8

5. pemdaS. subtract 8 from -18.

  -18 - 8 = -26

to rewrite a literal equation you may need to divide by a number, or by a variable.

hope i .

-2 is the right
