need to completely simplify
(10-7)to the 3rd power + 15/3
is it 32?
thanks
10-7=3, and 3^3 = 27
15/3 = 5, so
27+5 = 32
You are correct
thank you
To simplify the expression (10-7) to the 3rd power + 15/3, we'll follow the order of operations, also known as PEMDAS. This acronym stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), and Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).
First, let's simplify the expression inside the parentheses:
(10 - 7) = 3
Then, the expression becomes:
3 to the 3rd power + 15/3
Next, calculate 3 to the 3rd power (or cube of 3):
3^3 = 3 * 3 * 3 = 27
The expression now becomes:
27 + 15/3
Now, let's simplify the division:
15/3 = 5
Finally, the expression simplifies to:
27 + 5 = 32
Therefore, the simplified expression is indeed 32.
If you want to verify this result, you can follow the same steps to simplify the expression.
