Q. Evaluate the expression for f=1.3 and g=−8.5.Write your answer as a decimal or whole number.fg−g= _____
Substitute values into expression: Substitute the given values for f and g into the expression fg−g.Expression: (1.3)(−8.5)−(−8.5)
Calculate product of f and g: Calculate the product of f and g.Multiply 1.3 by –8.5.1.3×–8.5=–11.05
Subtract g from product of fg: Subtract g from the product of fg. Since g is −8.5, subtracting g is the same as adding the opposite of g. −11.05+8.5=−2.55
