Question

Please help me to understand this question from my math homework. What is the value of B3a if b=2 and a=6? My answer was 17,5761 26×26×26 is that correct?

Answer 1

Hello, Taletha

 

I think you are asking to evaluate b3a.  Well, usually you write the constant first, but don't worry. Ba  is not 26. It is 2 times 6. This is a very common mistake that a great many of my students make.  

 

So, coming back to your question B3a is (2)(3)(6), since b=2 and a= 6, so the final answer is 36.
