i think it would be your first choice
7+7+5+5=24
So therefore the permeter is 24
Yes you can and it is negative because if you think about it, the answer to the 3rd power is your original question, so for example, -8 would equal to the answer times itself 3 times
now ask yourself, does 2 times itself 3 times = to -8
or -2 times itself 3 times = to -8
Answer:
3(-9+17)
Distributive property:
3*-9
3*17
3 times -9 is -27
and 3*17 is 51
you are left with -27+51
now you add and get 24
you could also use PEMDAS
do 3(8)
and get 24
So your answer is 24, Hope that helps!
