Question

Can someone help me with a question please?

Answer 1

it already tells you what b is, just plug it into the equation. Happy to help. Us pikachu's must stick together.

Answer 2

Omg yess. Pikachu is love and life. And I know how to plug in the variable into the equation, I just have a hard time solving it. I think I got the answer though and I think it's -11.

Answer 3

It would be /-4-2/+/-1+4/+-16 solve from there

Answer 4

How did you get -1+4 and -16?

Answer 5

those/ are basically paranthesis. do everything inside the paranthesis, then combine.

Answer 6

-b2=4 because -2 times -2 is positive 4


2b3=-16 because -2 to the third power is -2 times -2 times -2, so that would equal -8, times 2, which would give you -16.

Answer 7

@TheSmartOne could you take a look at this one too?

Answer 8

Shortened down even more it would be: -6+3+-16

And then further:-3+-16

And further: -19

Answer 9

Was it right?

Answer 10

I got -11. What I did was I solved the first part which was "0" and then the second part which was "5" and then the last part which was "-16" and I added 5+-16 and got -11

Answer 11

@ganeshie8 am I right? or did i do it wrong?

Answer 12

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO i misread, good job. I guess this is why your smart score is 59 and mine is 58. Hahahahaha...... you were right. Sorry 'bout that

Answer 13

I was? Ohhh yay! c:

Answer 14

:D

Answer 15

Wait, I think the 5 I got might have actually been a 3.

Answer 16

I think I messed up.

Answer 17

@ganeshie8 was @DALLINATOR720 correct?

Answer 18

Yes, -11 looks good

Answer 19

So, -11 is correct?

Answer 20

Yes

Answer 21

Thank you!(:

Answer 22

np

Answer 23

@ganeshie8 I think I got the answer wrong though. When I did |-1-(-2)^2| I keep getting different answers that aren't 5.

Answer 24

|-1-(-2)^2|

(-2)^2 = -2 x -2 = + 4

|-1 - (+4)|

-1 - (+4) = -1 - 4 = -1 (1 + 4) = -1(5) = -5

|-5| = 5

So, can you identify where you are making the mistake and not getting 5 as the answer, now?
