Evaluate 5x3 - 21 + 7 when x = -2.

26

Step-by-step explanation:

5x³ - 21 + 7

x = 2

then:

5x³ - 14

5*2³ -14

5*8 - 14

40 - 14

26

The simplified answer to the given equation is -54.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we are given the value of x.

x = -2

So, let's plug in this value into our expression soit can be easier to solve.

5(-2)³ - 21 + 7

First, simplify the exponents.

5(-8) - 21 + 7

Now, multiply 5 by -8.

-40 - 21 + 7

Subtract -40 from 21.

-61 + 7

Add 7 to -61.

-54

30

step-by-step explanation:

times by times

step-by-step explanation:

points a and b are equidistant from the desired line, so the line you find by using them will go through point r.

using points other than a and b will give the desired line only if they are equidistant from r. if they are randomly located, the perpendicular line you create will not necessarily go through point r, hence will not be a solution to the problem.
