What is the value of this expression when g= -3.5?
8-|2g-5|
a. 20
b. 10
c. 6
d. -4

D. -4

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given this expression:

and asked to evaluate when g= -3.5 Therefore, we must substitute -3.5 in for g.

First, multiply 2 and -3.5

2 * -3.5 = -7

Next, subtract 5 from -7.

-7-5= -12

Next, evaluate the absolute value of -12. The absolute value is how far away a number is from 0, and it is always positive. The absolute value of -12 is 12.

Subtract 12 from 8.

The value of the expression is -4 and D is the correct answer.
