Question

Dana was picking strawberries to sell and placing them in baskets on a table. The number of strawberries in the basket is 4 more than the number of baskets on a table. If b represents the number of baskets on each table, which expression can be used to represent the number of strawberries on 5 tables?

5b4

5(b + 4)

5b(b + 4)

5b + 4

Answer 1

b is number of baskets on 1 table
so how many baskets are there on 5 tables?

also number of strawberries in 1 basket = (b + 4)

Answer 2

how do you write 5 times b in algebra? thats the total number of baskets

Answer 3

i dont know but i got it thanks :)

Answer 4

try this one
Evaluate the following expression using the values given:

Find x3 - 2y2 - 3x3 + z4 if x = 3, y = 5, and z = -3.

Answer 5

???

Answer 6

all you do to evaluate the second one is to replace x by 3, y by 5 and z by -3 and work it out

so its

(3)^3 - 2(5)^2 - 3(3)^3 + (-3)^4

Answer 7

you work out powers this way

(2)^4 = 2*2*2*2 = 16

(-2)^2 = -2 * -2 = 4

Answer 8

x3 = x^3 =(3)^3 = 3*3*3 = 27

that's the first part done for you

Answer 9

its one of these
-185
-77
-23
85

Answer 10

ok so what i would like you to do is work out the rest of the terms and see what you get
I could just tell you the answer but if i do that you won't learn anything

Answer 11

-2(5)^2 = -2*5*5 = ?

Answer 12

i got -50

Answer 13

yes thats right so we have

27 - 50 - 3(27) + (-4)^4

-3*27 = -81
and
+ 4(-4)^4 = + 256

so its 27 - 50 - 81 + 256

Answer 14

oh sorry its (-3^4 for the last one so

27 - 50 - 81 +(-3)4

-3*-3*-3*-3 = 81

so its

27 - 50 - 81+ 81

Answer 15

ok can you finish it off?

i'll start it for you

27 - 50 -81 + 81
= -23 -81+81
= ?
