We can then write an equation representing this problem as:

e−1.5mi=5.25mi

Now, add 1.5mi to each side of the equation to solve for e while keeping the equation balanced:

e−1.5mi+1.5mi=5.25mi+1.5mi

e−0=6.75mi

e=6.75mi

The plane's starting elevation was 6.75 miles

Hope this helps!

Answer:

$64a^{3} b^{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Distribute the exponent outside of the parentheses to the terms inside the parentheses. In this case, multiply the 3 outside the parentheses with the exponent of each of the terms inside:

$(4ab^{2} )^3$

$4^{3}$ · $a^{3}$ · $b^{6}$

2) The variables are fine - you can't simplify them further. All you need to do now is multiply the $4^{3}$ out. Remember that it's kind of like asking, "what is 4 × 4 ×4?"

$4$ · $4$ · $4$ · $a^{3}$ · $b^{6}$
