We've seen how to substitute numerical values for pronumerals before. We follow the same process when the numerical values are negative.
Find the value of m+n when m=6 and n=-4.
Find the value of \dfrac{p}{2q} when p=-28 and q=-7.
Find the value of k^2 when k=-7.
It is important that when we substitute values, the value that we substitute fits into exactly the same position as the pronumeral, and that we follow the order of operations.
