The answer is in the attached picture.
You can look at -32 as being -2^5 so if you write (-2^5)^3/5 the 5's cancel out making it -2^3 which equals -8
Answer:
No
Step-by-step explanation:
Apply the distributive property to 5(2x - 3y):
Multiply 5 by each term inside the parentheses.
5(2x - 3y) = 10x - 15y
The other expression is 10x - 10y.
The terms 10x in both expressions are equal.
Since the term -15y is not equal to the term -10y, the expressions are not equivalent.
Alright, so if the first number is x, the second number is y, and the third number is z, we have x+y+z=270. Next, since we know that x=y-1 since it is less than y by one and z=y+1, we have y-1+y+y+1=y+y+y=3y=270. Dividing both sides by 3, we get y=90
