In order to answer this question, we must break this mathematical expression up into a series of mathematical operations (exponent, multiplication,division, addition, and/or subtraction):
"4 times a number" - The word "times" implies that we have to multiply 4 by an unknown number. We can simply label this unknown number as x.
"cubed" - In order to "cube" a number, we must raise it to the third power, or have an exponent of 3. Our unknown number of x now becomes x3 because we raised it to the third power.
"decreased by 7" - The word "decreased" implies that we must subtract 7 from the product of 4 multiplied by x3
With all of the information we now have, we can form an algebraic expression for this problem.
"4 times a number cubed decreased by 3" now becomes:
4x3 - 7
1st term = -10
2nd term = -6
3rd term = -2
4th term = 2
5th term = 6
6th term = 10
7th term = 14
The reason how I got 14 for the 7th term is because, i added 4 to each term.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
-8k - 15
Step-by-step explanation:
5(-2k-3)+2k
At first, we will break the parenthesis. To break that, we will multiply the value inside the parenthesis by the adjacent number, that is 5. Again, we have to consider the Algebraic operation (Golden rule) -
[(-) x (-) = (+); (+) x (-) = (-)]
Therefore, since there is a minus sign in each of the value inside the parenthesis, the result will be minus as 5 is a positive integer.
or, -5*(2k) - (5*3) + 2k
or, -10k - 15 + 2k
or, -8k - 15 (after the deduction)
The answer is = -8k - 15
