Hi there!
You can use distributive property to solve this equation.
These are the list of terms you have to multiply :
a × a² = a³
a × -ab = -a²b
a × b² = ab²
b × a² = a²b
b × -ab = -ab²
b × b² = b³
add all of those terms...
a³ - a²b + ab² +a²b -ab² + b³
simplify by adding like terms... (- a²b + a²b , ab² - ab²)
a³ + b³
Hope this helped!! :)
Each sandwich is toasted for 2 minutes and it takes 3 seconds to flip it.
The first two sandwiches will be toasted in 2 minutes (toasting) and 6 seconds (flipping).
The two will then be switched which will take 10 seconds.
The next two will again take 2 minutes and 6 seconds.
The final sandwich will take 5 seconds to be placed.
The final sandwich will also take 2 minutes to toast and 3 seconds to flip.
Total time:
2 + 2 +2 = 6 minutes
6 + 10 + 6 + 3 = 25 seconds
Total time is 6 minutes and 25 seconds.
Divide -10 in 15 = -0.666666666
