Evaluate algebraic expressions correctly using substitution and order of operations.

Translate structured variable information into evaluation work

Problem

Use \(p~=~6\) and \(q~=~-2\) to substitute into \(p~+~3q\) and evaluate. Report the numerical substitution equation and result.

A value card lists p = 6 and q = -2. To the right, a panel says Evaluate: p + 3q.

Big Picture

What this problem is really about

Match each letter to its own value card entry, keeping q’s negative sign in parentheses and retaining its coefficient of three. Write the full numerical substitution before calculating, then multiply the q-term before adding p. Look for opposite quantities at the end as a useful arithmetic check.

6 + 3(-2) = 12

6 + (-2) = 4

6 + 3(-2) = 0

6 + 3(2) = 12
