Original question and givens

All operations and evaluations are exact in Q, not truncated natural-number arithmetic. E(x)=(16)x+(9) is an expression, not an equation. Ordered x environments=[16/3, -17/2]. Give the two E values. Use exact reduced fractions with positive denominators, retaining /1 for integers.

  • G001 — All operations and evaluations are exact in Q, not truncated natural-number arithmetic. E(x)=(16)x+(9) is an expression, not an equation. Ordered x environments=[16/3, -17/2]. Give the two E values. Use exact reduced fractions with positive denominators, retaining /1 for integers.

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.

Step-by-step derivation

S001 · implies

Before

typed rational expression and explicitly given environment

After

evaluation,not solving an equation

Conditions: none

Evaluating an expression is not solving an equation;substitute only the supplied environment without inventing roots or changing bindings.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: expression_environment_scope · Uses: G001

S002 · calculation

Before

environment0 ax := mul(16, 16/3)

After

environment0 ax = 256/3

Conditions: none

Substitute this environment's x into the product term.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S001

S003 · calculation

Before

environment0 ax+b := sum(256/3, 9)

After

environment0 ax+b = 283/3

Conditions: none

Then add b from the same expression.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S002

S004 · calculation

Before

environment1 ax := mul(16, -17/2)

After

environment1 ax = -136

Conditions: none

Substitute this environment's x into the product term.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S003

S005 · calculation

Before

environment1 ax+b := sum(-136, 9)

After

environment1 ax+b = -127

Conditions: none

Then add b from the same expression.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S004

S006 · implies

Before

[283/3, -127/1]

After

ordered independent evaluations of the same expression

Conditions: none

Read both environments from the original data;the second evaluation does not inherit a mutated first substitution.When a=0 the constant expression is independent of x.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: separate_expression_environments · Uses: G001, S005

Reverse checks

  • S006 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S005 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute environment1 ax+b with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S004 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute environment1 ax with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S003 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute environment0 ax+b with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S002 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute environment0 ax with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S001 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.

Result

(283/3, -127/1)

The full substitutions and premise checks give the original answer; source identity,format and status are unchanged.
