2q-3p and 2(p+q)/q
When p=8and q=4

Answers:

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1.) To solve for the first one:

Replace the variables with the given numbers. 2 x 4 = 8^2 (= 64), and 3 x 8 = 24. (P.S, the carrot symbol ^ means exponent, or to the power of, just to let you know.)

So, 8 - 24 = (-16).

Part 2.) To solve for the second part of the equation:

Replace the variables with the given numbers, and distribute the coefficient (2) into the parentheses. 2 x 8 = 16, 2 x 4 = 8.

Now add the two sides and then place them over a fraction. 16 + 8 = 24, 24/4 = 6.

Part 3.) So, the answer is -16 < 6. Six is the larger number.

I hope this helps.
