I'm a little confused with your question, what are you trying to figure out? Are you just multiplying it out because you can do that. 2(4y) -2(3) = 8y - 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope 2(4y - 3) as a word phrase like 1+1=2 u would say one plus one equals two

OpenStudy (tyteen4a03):

The product of two and 4y - 3?

Parth (parthkohli):

^ means "to the power".

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you can do that then you figure out how to word this problem.

Parth (parthkohli):

2^3 means "two to the power three".

Parth (parthkohli):

Now does the question ask for 2^(4y - 3)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

^ means power.

Parth (parthkohli):

Oh, and by the way:\[\text{gimme}^{food} = \text{gimme ^food}\]Where gimme and food are both numbers :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it says translate to word phrase then gives me this 2(4y - 3)
