Answer:
b
Step-by-step explanation:
Both of your answers are correct. In the first equation, if you were to substitute 3 for x, because you have to do exponents first, you have 3^2, which is 9, and 9*6 =54. If you were to substitute -3 for x again you would have to do the exponents first which would be -3^2 which is 9, and 9*6 = 54.
For the second question, if I substitute 0.75 for t, I get -9 + 18 + 7. This is equal to 16, and therefore the answer would be D. Hope this helps! :D. Let me know if you have questions about my explanation, and feel free to post more questions.
165 - 57 and divide that by 2. So that would be 54
7a^3(6a^2 + a)^2 - 4a^6
All we have to do here is basically add and subtract exponents!
(6a^2 + a)^2 = 36a^4 + a^2
7a^3(36a^4 + a^2) - 4a^6
252a^7 + 7a^5 - 4a^6
Answer is C.
