@Tootles143 please help
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thankyou orange do u know this stuff
OpenStudy (anonymous):
all you have to do is replace the letters with their corresponding numbers so
-3*2 - 3*2*3 + -3*2 (I'll leave the rest to you ) 2b3 - c2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Hope I helped
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so is the answer -31

those are exponents not multiples
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah its confusing
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you should write it "-a^2 - 3b^3 + c^2 + 2b^3 - c^2"
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so to work it out all you have to do is know how exponents work
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah so would it be -31

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-3^2=-6 right
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so first we can say that we have
-a^2 - 3b^3 + 2b^3 because c^2 and - c^2 cancel out alright?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so then we replace the letters with the numbers they stand for
- 3^2 - 3*2^3 + 2*2^3

now do you know how "^" work?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
basically if it says ^2 it means that there are two of that number being multiplied together
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes thank u so it would be -67
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so 2^2 = 2*2 = 4 3^2 = 3*3 = 9 and 2^3 = 2*2*2 = 8
OpenStudy (anonymous):
fill it in like that and come back with your answer :)

remember you're working from - 3^2 - 3*2^3 + 2*2^3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
u still there
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yep
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so all you have to do is this
-3*3 - 3*2*2*2 + 2*2*2*2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-17
