Answer:
Ques 16)
We have to simplify the expression:

Ques 17)

Ques 18)
Let the blank space be denoted by the quantity 'x'.

Ques 19)
Let the missing quantity be denoted by 'x'.

Answer:
No
Reasoning:
If something is a perfect cube, it is able to be put under a cube root (
) and will result in an integer (a non-decimal number > 0, basically).
So let's calculate
, and see if the result is an integer.
= 3.634.......
As you can see, the result is not an integer, therefore 48 is not a perfect cube.
Ultimately, you want the <em>variable</em> p on one side of the equals sign, and the <em>value</em> of p on the other.
First, get rid of the parenthesis by <em>distributing.
</em>There is an invisible -1 in front of the first and last set of parenthesis, and a one times any number is the number itself, so you are essentially distributing the negative sign.
<em>
</em>So you have: 2-4p-3 = -3p-6-2p-3
<em>
</em>Next, <em>Combine like terms.
</em>
Can you take it from there?<em>
</em>
So to do this, we have to get rid of one of the variables by adding or subtracting the two equations together.
I will get rid of y. So, we can multiply the second equation by 2. This gives us
2x-2y=10
Now, we can add both equations
This gives us 7x=-14
Therefore, x = -2
Plug that into another equation.
-10 + 2y=-24
Therefore, y = -7
Hope this helped!! :D
