Evaluate Using the Given Value p-(9-(m+q)) ; use m=4 , p=5 ; and q=3

$p - (9 - (m + q))$ ; use $m = 4$ , $p = 5$ ; and $q = 3$

Step 1

Replace the variable $m$ with $4$ in the expression.

$p - (9 - ((4) + q))$

Step 2

Replace the variable $p$ with $5$ in the expression.

$(5) - (9 - ((4) + q))$

Step 3

Replace the variable $q$ with $3$ in the expression.

$5 - (9 - (4 + 3))$

Step 4

Remove parentheses.

$5 - (9 - (4 + 3))$

Step 5

Simplify each term.

Add $4$ and $3$ .

$5 - (9 - 1 \cdot 7)$

Multiply $- 1$ by $7$ .

$5 - (9 - 7)$

Subtract $7$ from $9$ .

$5 - 1 \cdot 2$

Multiply $- 1$ by $2$ .

$5 - 2$

Step 6

Subtract $2$ from $5$ .

$3$
