Answer:

About 18.1

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this problem by setting up an equation. Assuming that the original number is x:

x*(1-0.17)=15

0.83x=15

x=15/0.83 which is about 18.1 Hope this helps!

Plz help me!!!<br><br> find the value of {3-2(3-4)^3}^3
maxonik [38]

Answer:

-226,981

Step-by-step explanation:

This is how you do it.

First, you do 3-2 which is 1.

Then, you do 3-4 to the 3rd power which is -61.

After, you do 1*-61 because there are parenthesis, which equals -61.

Then, you do -61, which is the total of everything in parenthesis, and do it times the power of 3 to get -226,981.

Hope it helps!!^_^
