Question

If x = -2, what does y equal if y = x3 + 7?

Answer 1

y=1

Explanation:

you plug-2 in for x and then the problem looks like this y=-2(3)+7.

then you follow order of operations and multiply-2 and 3, and you get -6 so the problem now looks like y=-6+7.

you then add -6 and 7 and you get 1. now the problem looks like y=1 and you are finished.
