A.Jacki should have simplified the exponent first.
B.Jacki should have multiplied 4 and 8 first.
C.Jacki should have multiplied 4 and 8 first.
D.Jacki should have multiplied 4 and 8 first.

Respuesta :

none of the answer above is right,
Jackie made an error where 8-12=-4 instead he wrote 4
so the actual answer is 0 as,
2^3(3-1)+4(8-12)
2^3(2)+4(-4)
8(2)-16
16-16
0
