23.3 is the answer points
Yes, Luis is correct.
If s is equal to the the side length, then in the problem, s is equal to 8 millimeters. 8 x 3 is equal to 24, which would equate to 24 cubic millimeters.
Answer: 23
Explanation: simplify using PEMDAS so solve parentheses, then solve the exponent, multiply the second number by 4, and then add, then subtract.
Hope this helps!
8 x - 4 (5 - x) = -44
mutiply the bracket by -4
(-4)(5) = -20
(-4)(-x)= 4x
8x-20+4x= -44
8x+4x-20= -44 ( combine like terms )
12x-20= -44
move -20 to the other side
sign changes from -20 to +20
12x-20+20= -44+20
12x= -44+20
12x= -24
divide both sides by 12
12x/12= -24/12
Answer: x= -2
