Question

Choose the correct simplification of the expression (8x2)3.

Answer 1

Simply 8 * 2 to 16. 

16 * 3 = 48. 

However, if the x represents a variable, the answer would be 24x^2. 

Answer 2

Your answer should be 48x when you've completely simplified, but since we were not provided with answer choices to choose from, I cannot be for sure (unfortunately). :/ If 48x is one of your answer choices, than my answer is right! :)
