Evaluate the expression 9mn −2p when m = 1 3, n =−2,and p=5. Type your fractional answer below.
Write the answer in fraction form.
To find the value of the expression 9mn − 2p when m = 1/3, n = -2, and p = 5, we substitute the given values into the expression:
9mn − 2p = 9(1/3)(-2) − 2(5)
Simplifying this expression:
= 9/3*(-2) - 10
= -6 - 10
= -16
Therefore, the value of the expression is -16.
