Answer :
Sure, let's evaluate the expression [tex]\( qp + q - p \)[/tex] when [tex]\( p = -0.6 \)[/tex] and [tex]\( q = 4.8 \)[/tex].
1. First, substitute the values of [tex]\( p \)[/tex] and [tex]\( q \)[/tex] into the expression:
[tex]\[
4.8 \times (-0.6) + 4.8 - (-0.6)
\][/tex]
2. Calculate the product [tex]\( 4.8 \times (-0.6) \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[
4.8 \times (-0.6) = -2.88
\][/tex]
3. Now, replace this product into the expression:
[tex]\[
-2.88 + 4.8 - (-0.6)
\][/tex]
4. Next, handle the subtraction involving the negative number:
[tex]\[
4.8 - (-0.6) = 4.8 + 0.6 = 5.4
\][/tex]
5. Finally, add [tex]\(-2.88\)[/tex] to [tex]\(5.4\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[
-2.88 + 5.4 = 2.52
\][/tex]
Thus, the evaluated result of the expression is [tex]\( 2.52 \)[/tex].
