Question 171564: what is (bcubed+8squared)-(3b-24)

I guess this is what you are trying to express:
b^3 + 8^2 - (3b - 24)
Simplify one step at a time.
b^3 + 64 - 3b + 24
Combine like terms.
(b^3 - 3b) + (64 + 24)
Factor the quantity (b^3 - 3b).
So, (b^3 - 3b) becomes b(b^2 - 3).
Of course, 64 + 24 = 88.
We now put it all together.
b(b^2 - 3) + 88
This is the answer based on what you typed.
