If a = 2, b = 3, and c = 2, what is the value of the following expression? (a + b)2 + 30 - c3 47 53 34 33

OpenStudy (anonymous):

simply substitute a = 2, b = 3, and c = 2 into the given equation \((a + b)^2 + 30 - c^3\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

substitute, what did yu get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol i dk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(2+3) 2 + 30 - 2^3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is c cubed?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or another multiplication?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's multiplication. (2+3) 2 + 30 - 2 * 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ftjcgfykcffhvfnggf finish this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think it's an exponent since it is AFTER the variable

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Order of operations

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so that simplifies to 8. so just finish

OpenStudy (anonymous):

PEMDAS

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do the parenthesis, then any exponents, then any multiplication, then any division, then addition and subtraction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If it's 2^3, the answer is 32, which is not in the option. @Data_LG2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is in the choices i got the first one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh i see he squared a+b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

giving you 25 then adding 30 gets yu 55 then subtracting 8 gave you 47 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I didn't know (a+b)^2 look like that. I thought it looked like this (a+b) * 2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I thought so too. @ftjcgfykcffhvfnggf next time yu pose a question use the appropriate symbols(^) to signify operations ok?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok
