Let’s solve each expression one by one. We’ll plug in the given values for the variables and calculate step by step.

---

M: 5x + 4 if x = 3
→ 5(3) + 4 = 15 + 4 = 19

G: 7a + 3 if a = -2
→ 7(-2) + 3 = -14 + 3 = -11

P: -3y - 9 if y = -8
→ -3(-8) - 9 = 24 - 9 = 15

A: 4b + 9t if b = 7, t = -2
→ 4(7) + 9(-2) = 28 - 18 = 10

C: -8g + 3n if g = -3, n = 4
→ -8(-3) + 3(4) = 24 + 12 = 36

N: -6s - 5h if s = 9, h = 5
→ -6(9) - 5(5) = -54 - 25 = -79

T: x + 7p if x = -1, p = 8
→ -1 + 7(8) = -1 + 56 = 55

U: 7q - 2d + 3 if q = -7, d = 1
→ 7(-7) - 2(1) + 3 = -49 - 2 + 3 = -48

S: -c + 5m - 3 if c = -5, m = 2
→ -(-5) + 5(2) - 3 = 5 + 10 - 3 = 12

X: 4x + 6y - 2z if x = -9, y = 2, z = -3
→ 4(-9) + 6(2) - 2(-3) = -36 + 12 + 6 = -18

F: -9y + 5p + 3z if y = 7, p = -4, z = 6
→ -9(7) + 5(-4) + 3(6) = -63 - 20 + 18 = -65

H: 7e - m - 4w if e = 3, m = -8, w = 1
→ 7(3) - (-8) - 4(1) = 21 + 8 - 4 = 25

E: 6r + 5d + y if r = -4, d = -3, y = 8
→ 6(-4) + 5(-3) + 8 = -24 - 15 + 8 = -31

B: 9x - 3y - f if x = 3, y = 1, f = -8
→ 9(3) - 3(1) - (-8) = 27 - 3 + 8 = 32

I: -b - 4x + 7g if b = 2, x = 4, g = 5
→ -2 - 4(4) + 7(5) = -2 - 16 + 35 = 17

R: -2v + 2h - 8s if v = 9, h = 7, s = -6
→ -2(9) + 2(7) - 8(-6) = -18 + 14 + 48 = 44

Now let’s list all answers with their letters:

- M → 19
- G → -11
- P → 15
- A → 10
- C → 36
- N → -79
- T → 55
- U → -48
- S → 12
- X → -18
- F → -65
- H → 25
- E → -31
- B → 32
- I → 17
- R → 44

Now look at the code line at the bottom:

TITLE: RAPID MULTIPLICATION

First row of numbers:
44 -48 -79 -79 17 -79 -11 10 44 10 32 32 17 55 -65 10 44 19 17 12 10

Second row:
25 10 44 -31 44 10 17 12 17 -79 -11 -31 -18 15 -31 44 17 -31 -79 36 -31

We need to match each number to its letter from above.

Let’s go step by step through the first row:

44 → R
-48 → U
-79 → N
-79 → N
17 → I
-79 → N
-11 → G
10 → A
44 → R
10 → A
32 → B
32 → B
17 → I
55 → T
-65 → F
10 → A
44 → R
19 → M
17 → I
12 → S
10 → A

So first row decodes to:
R U N N I N G A R A B B I T F A R M I S A

Wait — that doesn’t make sense yet. Let’s do second row too.

Second row:

25 → H
10 → A
44 → R
-31 → E
44 → R
10 → A
17 → I
12 → S
17 → I
-79 → N
-11 → G
-31 → E
-18 → X
15 → P
-31 → E
44 → R
17 → I
-31 → E
-79 → N
36 → C
-31 → E

Second row:
H A R E R A I S I N G E X P E R I E N C E

Hmm… “RUNNING A RABBIT FARM IS A” and “HARE RAISING EXPERIENCE”

That sounds like a pun! “Running a rabbit farm is a hare-raising experience!”

But let’s check if we missed anything. Maybe the title is part of it? The title says “RAPID MULTIPLICATION” — but that might just be the worksheet name.

Actually, looking again — maybe the two rows together form one sentence?

Let’s combine them:

First row: R U N N I N G A R A B B I T F A R M I S A
Second row: H A R E R A I S I N G E X P E R I E N C E

Put together:
“RUNNING A RABBIT FARM IS A HARE RAISING EXPERIENCE”

Yes! That makes perfect sense as a joke/pun.

But wait — let’s double-check our math because sometimes one wrong answer breaks the whole thing.

Let me recheck a few tricky ones:

U: 7q - 2d + 3 if q = -7, d = 1
7*(-7) = -49; -2*1 = -2; so -49 -2 +3 = -48 ✔

N: -6s -5h if s=9, h=5
-6*9 = -54; -5*5 = -25; total -79 ✔

E: 6r +5d +y if r=-4,d=-3,y=8
6*(-4)= -24; 5*(-3)= -15; +8 → -24-15+8 = -31 ✔

X: 4x+6y-2z if x=-9,y=2,z=-3
4*(-9)= -36; 6*2=12; -2*(-3)=+6 → -36+12+6 = -18 ✔

F: -9y+5p+3z if y=7,p=-4,z=6
-9*7=-63; 5*(-4)=-20; 3*6=18 → -63-20+18 = -65 ✔

All seem correct.

Now, let’s write out the full decoded message using the code:

From first row:
44=R, -48=U, -79=N, -79=N, 17=I, -79=N, -11=G, 10=A, 44=R, 10=A, 32=B, 32=B, 17=I, 55=T, -65=F, 10=A, 44=R, 19=M, 17=I, 12=S, 10=A
→ R U N N I N G A R A B B I T F A R M I S A

Second row:
25=H, 10=A, 44=R, -31=E, 44=R, 10=A, 17=I, 12=S, 17=I, -79=N, -11=G, -31=E, -18=X, 15=P, -31=E, 44=R, 17=I, -31=E, -79=N, 36=C, -31=E
→ H A R E R A I S I N G E X P E R I E N C E

Combined:
RUNNING A RABBIT FARM IS A HARE RAISING EXPERIENCE

Perfect! It’s a play on words — “hare raising” instead of “hair raising”.

Final Answer:
RUNNING A RABBIT FARM IS A HARE RAISING EXPERIENCE
