Expression is equivalent to 486 – 9 + 6 + 33 × 2

  549

Step-by-step explanation:

A calculator can give you an equivalent expression.

I might work from the middle outward:

  = 486 -3 +33×2

  = 483 +66

  = (480 +60) + (3 +6)

  = 540 + 9

  = 549

problem:

f(x) = - 2/3x + 5; f(5/2)

substitute 5/2 in for x:

f(5/2) = -2/3(5/2) + 5

simplify the right side:

f(5/2) = -5/3 + 5

f(5/2) = 10/3

f(5/2) = 10/3

i hope this !
