Given the numerical expression:

5b+3c-20+3b-15c+4

Evaluate when, 

b = 2

c = -3

Solution:

In order to evaluate the numerical expression, we simply need to substitute the values of 2 and -3 to the equation.

= 5(2) + 3(-3) - 20 + 3(2) + 15(-3) + 4

Simplify and combine all the values.

= 10 - 9 - 20 + 6 - 45 + 4

= 1 - 14 - 41

= - 54

Final answer:

= -54
