Which of the following interpretations for the given expression is correct?

8(5-2x)3

Answer 1

8(5-2x)3
=3(40-16x)
=120-48x

The answer is *120-48x*

Answer 2

The required expression is "8 times of cube of the difference of 5 and twice of x".

Explanation:

The given expression is

`8(5-2x)^3`

The interpretation of given expression is defined as

2x = Twice of x

(5-2x) = The difference of 5 and twice of x.

(5-2x)³ = Cube of the difference of 5 and twice of x.

8(5-2x)³ = 8 times of cube of the difference of 5 and twice of x

Therefore the required expression is "8 times of cube of the difference of 5 and twice of x".
