The sequence is increasing by the previous number multiplied by negative 3 (x -3). With this information, the correct answer would be A. -648, 1944, 5832

Answer: None of the above are correct

Step-by-step explanation: The values are being multiplied by -3 each time. (-8*-3=24, 24*-3=-72, and so on.) Out of all the choices, A would be the most accurate answer. But the problem is that 1944 multiplied by -3 does NOT equal 5832. It equals NEGATIVE 5832. As I said, A would be your best choice.

-3(5)^2-(-2)(-8) simplify

avanturin [10]

To do this, we're going to use the order of operations (PEMDAS):

P - Parentheses

E - Exponents

M - Multiplication

D - Division

A - Addition

S - Subtraction

First let's do parentheses, there isn't anythig in parentheses we need to simplify, so we can skip this step.

Next let's look for exponents. I see we have a $5^2$ so let's replace that with $5^2=25$ :

$-3(25)-(-2)(-8)$

Now let's look for multiplcation. We know that things that are right next to eachother in parentheses represent multiplcation, so let's simply this more:

$-3(25)=-75$
