Hello All my daughter needs help in Evaluating Multiplication and Division Expression
Can someone tell me if this would make z 50 and then multiply by 5.8 or divide? Or am I completely off? Thank you for your prompt response.:confused:
This is the problem in question - 5.8z for z=50

$-5.8z$ implies multiplication of the value of $z$ by $-5.8$

Thank you Skeeter. Just to confirm, I would have 5.8 x 50?

$5.8 \times 50$ is correct.
