He should have simplified first then distribute the negative sign.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that Brayden is simplifying the expression . He begins by distributing the negative to the terms inside the parentheses. Which is basically the wrong step for the given problem.
Now we need to find about what should he have done instead.
According to order of operations, we should begin with exponent first.
So that means he should have simplified first then distribute the negative sign.
Number needed = volume of large cube / volume of small cube Number needed = 16320. This answer does not answer whether or not you get a possible prism.
