The question is:  What did he have in the beginning ?  All the information
we have happened after that.  So if we want to work through the information
towards the answer, maybe it makes sense to solve it starting from the end,
working backwards toward the beginning.

Manuel had  5  marbles left at the end of the story. 

Those  5  remained after he gave Matt  2 . 
Before he gave Matt  2, he had  7 .

Those  7  remained after he gave Matt half of his marbles.
Before he gave Matt half of his marbles, he had  14 .

Those  14  remained after he gave Lily  1  marble.
Before he gave Lily  1  marble, he had  15 .

Those  15  remained after he gave Lily half of his marbles.
Before he gave Lily half of his marbles, he had  <em>30</em> .

Natalija [7]

Answer:

240 cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a rectangular prism = base area x height

Use the Product Property for Exponents to explain why x · x = x2.
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Whenever there is no exponent on a variable,

you can give it an exponent of 1.

So we can rewrite the x's in this problem as x¹.

When we multiply two terms together

with like bases, we add their exponents.

So now just add their exponents to get x².

8 is not a factor of 36.... Your answer doesn't work.
m_a_m_a [10]
Correct :)

36 is not divisible by 8.

The prime factorization of 36 is 2*2*3*3

To get 8 we need 2*2*2 but we don't have enough 2's.
