(-3) + 2^3
show your work
(-3) + 2^3 can be solved as follows:
First, calculate 2 raised to the power of 3:
2^3 = 2 x 2 x 2 = 8
Now, substitute this value back into the original expression:
(-3) + 8 = 5
Therefore, (-3) + 2^3 equals 5.
To solve the expression (-3) + 2^3, we follow the order of operations, which states that we need to perform any calculations inside parentheses first, then exponents, followed by multiplication and division from left to right, and finally addition and subtraction from left to right.
First, let's solve the exponent 2^3. This means 2 raised to the power of 3, which is equal to 2 * 2 * 2 = 8.
Now, we can replace 2^3 in the original expression:
(-3) + 8
Finally, we perform the addition:
(-3) + 8 = 5
So, the final result of (-3) + 2^3 is 5.
