The statistical question would be B.
First, figure out what you do and don't know....
You do know that 3 times the sum of a number and 4 is 18 more than the number....you don't know the number so you make it the variable x
now take 3 times the sum of a number and 4 and make that an expression 3x+4 this expression is the same or equal to the sum of x and 18 x+18
3x+4=x+18
2x+4=18
2x=14
x=7
hope this helped :)
Its b because yeah im just kidding idk im really stupid jk its b hahaha
Assuming 5a3 equals 5a^3, and the same for everything else, you would plug in 4 for a, so 5(4)^3 - 2(4)^2 + 4 - 45, which equals 247.
