Answer: Fourth Choice. -46.08
Concept:
Here, we need to understand the idea of evaluation.
When encountering questions that gave you an expression with variables, then stated: "If x = a, y = b, z = c" (a, b, c are all constants), this means you should substitute the value given for each variable back to the expression.
Solve:
Given information
s = 2.4
b=-7.2
t=4.8
n=-9.6
Given expression
(s - b) (n + t)
Substitute values into the expression
= (2.4 - (-7.2)) (-9.6 + 4.8)
Simplify values in the parentheses
= (2.4 + 7.2) (-4.8)
=(9.6) (-4.8)
Simplify by multiplication
= [tex]\boxed{-46.08}[/tex]
Hope this helps!! :)
