Question

select the correct answer.
what is the value of this expression when g = -3.5?
8 - |2g - 5|

a. 20
b. 10
c. 6
d. -4

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute \( g = -3.5 \) into \( 2g - 5 \)

\( 2\times(-3.5) - 5 = -7 - 5 = -12 \)

Step2: Find the absolute value of the result

\( | -12 | = 12 \)

Step3: Substitute the absolute value into the original expression

\( 8 - 12 = -4 \)
