No problem :)

Answer 5

I have one more similar question I do not get on my homework!
|-4b - 8| + -1-b2| + 2b3 ; b= -2

Answer 6

this is almost the same thing, but you have absolute value, " | |" which mean anything inside will be always positive, for example, |-3| would turn in to 3 because of the absolute value. Try the problem now, and if you still cant get it, i will help you solve it.

Answer 7

| - 4(-2) -8| + | -1 - (4)2| + 2(4)3
|-8 -8| + | -1 - 16| + 128
|-16| + |-17| + 128
-33+ 128 = 95?

Answer 8

oh what +33 + 128 = 161?

Answer 9

it would be 24 instead of 128

so the answer would 33+24= 57

Answer 10

i think you did this wrong a bit, so i will show you the way i did it, and see if you can figure mistake

Answer 11

umm i dont know how to type the powers but it was b2 imeant b to the second power so it would be 16 right and 2b3 as 4 to the theird power than multiplied by 2 would make it 128 right?

Answer 12

then you did it right, good job :)
