OpenStudy (usukidoll):

uhhhhhhhhh we can just plug in those values and solve?!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YA I KNOW BUT EVERY TIME I MESS UP -_- AND I NEED HELP PLEASE!

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

\[2r^2+3s^3-r^2+4t^2-r^2\] \[-3a^2-b^3+3c^2-2b^3\]

OpenStudy (funnyguy2):

19 http://www.mathpapa.com/algebra-calculator.html

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

well ok.. we can combine like terms first to make it easier \[2r^2-r^2-r^2+3s^3+4t^2\] \[2r^2-2r^2+3s^3+4t^2\] \[3s^3+4t^2\] s=-3 t=5 \[3(-3)^3+4(5)^2\] \[3(-27)+4(25)\] \[-81+100=19\]

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

yup checks out on the first one I got 19 too, but at least I showed work :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The second question too i am confused on can you help with that too?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Find −3a2 − b3 + 3c2 − 2b3 if a = 2, b = −1, and c = 3.

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

\[-3a^2-3b^3+3c^2\] a=2, b=-1, c = 3 \[-3(2)^2-3(-1)^3+3(3)^2\] \[-3(4)-3(-1)+3(9)\] \[-12+3+27 =18\]

Thank you!

OpenStudy (funnyguy2):

Thank who?

OpenStudy (funnyguy2):

I would thank the creator of the algebra calculator.

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

^which you shouldn't depend on.. because that's not really learning how to solve these problems.

OpenStudy (funnyguy2):

It shows you the steps!

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

True, but if OP has a closed book closed note test... then what? The only way to solve it is the manual way.

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

these sites that automatically solve the problem for you are only supposed to be used to check your answer... it shouldn't be a replacement to do the math the pencil and paper way.

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

@cutiiepie7272 you must learn to replace each variable with a given value and simplify the resulting numerical expression.

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Any questions?

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

This is called the substitution principle: An expression maybe replaced by another expression that has the same value.

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

4 + 2 can be replaced by 6 because they have the same value 4 + 2 = 6. Similarly, if x = 6, then x can be replaced by 6 because they have the same value 6 = 6.

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Also, please use the "^" symbol for exponentiation :-)
