Iliana cubed the number of flowering plants in her garden, then added 2 vegetable plants. Let p represent the original number of
plants in her garden. Which shows an expression to represent the total number of plants in her garden and the total number of plants if p = 3? A. 3p - 2 when p = 3 the number of plants is 7
B. 3p + 2 when p = 3 the number of plants is 11
C. p^3 - 2 when p = 3 the number of plants is 25
D. p^3 + 2when p = 3 the number of plants is 29
The answer is D because cubed is to the 3rd power (p^3) okay so with that the next part of the question reads "adds 2 vegetable plants" so knowing this your equation will be p^3+2. Next you substitute 3 for p therefor giving you the problem <span> </span><span>3^3+2=? 27+2=29
When she cubed the number of flowering plants that means p^3 so the answer is not A or B now take a look at C or D both are p^3 + 2 which is right now lets solve it: 3^3 + 2 = 27 +2 = 29 so the answer is D :))) i hope this is helpful have a nice day
