Evaluate Using the Given Value p(q÷3-p) ; use p=-6 ; and q=-3

$p (q \div 3 - p)$ ; use $p = - 6$ ; and $q = - 3$

Step 1

Replace the variable $p$ with $- 6$ in the expression.

$(- 6) (q \div 3 - (- 6))$

Step 2

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

$(- 6) (- 3 \div 3 - (- 6))$

Step 3

Simplify each term.

Divide $- 3$ by $3$ .

$- 6 (- 1 - (- 6))$

Multiply $- 1$ by $- 6$ .

$- 6 (- 1 + 6)$

Step 4

Simplify the expression.

Add $- 1$ and $6$ .

$- 6 \cdot 5$

Multiply $- 6$ by $5$ .

$- 30$
