No! Remember, you see a negative exponent, that just means the reciprocal of the positive exponent. So 1 over negative 2 to the third power, to the positive third power. And this is equal to 1 over negative 2 times negative 2 times negative 2. ... So this is equal to negative 1/8.
Hello! The question simplified is 4x + 14. This is because when you have a negative symbol in front of the numbers you need to distribute, you change the numbers inside into the opposites, and then multiply by -1. When you do this, you get 3 + 4x + 5 + 6. When you combine like terms, you get 4x + 14. The answer is B: 4x + 14.
