What is 4x (x/3-2) when x = - 3?

36

Step-by-step explanation:

Evaluate 4 x (x/3 - 2) where x = - 3:

4 x (x/3 - 2) = - 3*4 ((-3) / 3 - 2)

The gcd of - 3 and 3 is 3, so (-3) / 3 = (3 (-1)) / (3*1) = 3/3*-1 = - 1:

-3*4 (-1 - 2)

-1 - 2 = - (1 + 2):

-3*4 * - (1 + 2)

1 + 2 = 3:

-3*4 (-3)

4 (-3) = - 12:

-3-12

-12 (-3) = 36:
