(18 – ab) + 4b
If a = -2 and b = -5

-12

Step-by-step explanation:

First, substitute the variables with the numbers.

(18-(-2*-5))+4(-5)

Using the order of operations, solve in the parentheses before anything else.

(18-(-2*-5))+4(-5)

(18-(10))+4(-5)

We can now multiply 4 by -5.

(18-(10))+4(-5)

(18-10)-20

It's probably easier if we subtract 10 from 18 before subtracting 20.

(18-10)-20

8-20

-12

Hope this helps you out!! Have a wonderful day c:

step-by-step explanation:

b. would be the answer : )

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: add -16x to both sides.

16x−4y+−16x=64+−16x  

−4y=−16x+64

step 2: divide both sides by -4.

−4y /-4 = -16x + 64/-4

answer:   y=4x−16

hope i'm right
