\[3a^3+2b^3\] Thats what it looks like.

Nnesha (nnesha):

substitute a for 3 and b for 2 a=3 b=2

OpenStudy (readergirl12):

I dont understand...I've never been very good in math.. ._.

Nnesha (nnesha):

well given : a = 3 and b =2 so we can replace a for 3 and b for 2

Nnesha (nnesha):

\[\huge\rm 3\color{ReD}{a}^3+2b^3\] . given is a =3 so i'm going to replace a for 3 \[\huge\rm 3\color{ReD}{(3)}^3+2b^3\] . same with b

OpenStudy (readergirl12):

97..

Nnesha (nnesha):

exponents tells us how many times we should multiply the base so for example 4^3 would be 4*4*4
