Evaluate each expression for p = -4, q = 8, and r = -10. See Example 6. 5r/(2p - 3r)

Guida verificata passo dopo passo

Identify the given expression and the values of the variables: the expression is \(\frac{5r}{2p - 3r}\), with \(p = -4\), \(q = 8\), and \(r = -10\) (note that \(q\) is not used in this expression).

Substitute the given values of \(p\) and \(r\) into the expression: replace \(p\) with \(-4\) and \(r\) with \(-10\) in \(\frac{5r}{2p - 3r}\) to get \(\frac{5(-10)}{2(-4) - 3(-10)}\).

Simplify the numerator by multiplying \(5\) and \(-10\): calculate \(5 \times (-10)\).

Simplify the denominator by performing the operations inside it: calculate \(2 \times (-4)\) and \(-3 \times (-10)\), then subtract the second result from the first.

Write the simplified fraction with the results from the numerator and denominator, and then simplify the fraction if possible.
