Question

Evaluate each expression. (Lesson 1-2)

If $n=-1$ then $2n+1=?$

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The value of the expression $2n+1$ is $-1$.

Step 1. Given.

The given expression is $2n+1$ and the given value is $n=-1$.

Step 2. To find.

We have to find the expression $2n+1$ for $n=-1$.

Step 3. Calculation.

We will plug $n=-1$ in the expression to find the value of the given expression.

$$\begin{gathered} 2\left(-1\right)+1=-2+1 \\ =-1 \end{gathered}$$

 

Hence, the value of the expression $2n+1$ is $-1$.
