Which expression is equivalent to (2g^5)^3

Your answer should be 8g^15

Step-by-step explanation:

If cubed (power of 3) is on a parenthesis, that means you have to cube every expression inside that parenthesis. In order to distribute exponents, mutliply them. This gives you g^5 times ^3, which is g^15. ^3 has to also be distributed to the 2, which is 2^3 = 8. 8 and g^15 is 8g^15.

x = -3

y = -18

step-by-step explanation:

to solve by substitution, substitute one variable and solve for the other. then substitute again to find the remaining variable.

x-1/3(3x-9) = -3 since y=3x-9 substittute y.

x-1/3(3x-9)=-3

x + x +3 = -3

2x+3=-3

2x+3-3= -3-3

2x=-6

x=-3

substitute again into y=3x-9

y=3(-3)-9

y=-9-9

y=-18
