Go ask your teacher if you don't understand. You substitute the given numbers for the letter (wherever you see "a" you put 3, wherever you see "b" you put -2, etc. Then it's basic math from there on in.

1) 24- 7ab
= 24-7 (3) (-2)
= 24- (-42)
= 66

well first thing i do is that i multiply 7 to a and b which is 7(3)(-2) and then i get the sum of it which is -42 then i add 24 to 42 which becomes 66.

2) -3b + 2c
= -3(-2) + 2(1)
= 6 + 2
= 8

first thing i did is that i multiply -3 to -2 which becomes 6 then i multiply 2 to 1 which becomes 2, so i added 6 to 2 which becomes 8

1. 24 - 7ab
= 24 - 7(3)(-2)
= 24 - 21(-2)
= 24 + 42
= 66

2. -3b + 2c
= -3(-2) + 2(1)
= 6 + 2(1)
= 6 + 2
= 8

The answer to #1 is 66 and the answer to #2 is 8

24 - 7ab
=24 - 7 (3)(-2) (from here multiply 7 and 3 first and we get 21).
= 24 - 21(-2) ( now we can multiply 21 and -2, we get -42)
=24 + 42 (negative multiply by negative , we get positive)
=66


-3b + 2c
= -3(-2) + 2 (1)
= 6 + 2
= 8

just remember,
negative x negative = positive
positive x positive = positive
negative x positive = negative

Hope you do not play and are serious.

To finish to the answer you have to substitute 'a' with 3, 'b' with -2 and 'c' with 1.
1. 24-7ab
subsituting for 'a' and 'b' with 3 and -2 respectively
24-7*(3)*(-2)
=24-21*(-2)
=24-(-42)
=24+42
=66

2. -3b+2c
= -3(-2)+2*(1)
= -(-6)+2
= 6+2 = 8

In case you are one who used yahoo answers for playing, slap yourself. Else you have the answwer and your homework is done

You basically replace the variables (the letters) for their corresponding values (numbers). Problem 1: 24-7ab
Therefore Problem 1= 24-7(3)(-2)
multiply first (7x3x(-2))= 24-(-42)
same as 24+42= 66
Answer: 66

ok...
You just but the values of each letter insetad of the letter. Then do the multiplications first, then the substractions.

=24-7(3)(2)
=24-7(6)
=24-30
=-6

=-3(2)+2(3)
=-6+6
=0

24-7ab
24-7(3)(-2)
24-21(-2)
24+42=66
24+42=66
the answer is...66
---------------------------
-3b+2c
-3(-2)+2(1)
6+2=8
The answer is...8
