Question

evaluate the expression.
j = -4 k = 13
9j + 2k

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute j and k values

Substitute \( j = -4 \) and \( k = 13 \) into \( 9j + 2k \).
\( 9(-4) + 2(13) \)

Step2: Calculate each term

Calculate \( 9(-4) = -36 \) and \( 2(13) = 26 \).

Step3: Add the results

Add \( -36 + 26 = -10 \).

Answer:

\(-10\)
