1. When given the expression 5^3, what should you do to solve? a. 5 X3
b. 5 X 5 X 5
c. 3 X 3 X 3 X 3 X3

its b) 5×5×5

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 5×3 is 15

b) 5×5×5 is 5^3 or in simple form its 125

c) 3×3×3×3×3 = 3^5 or in simple form its 243

You should solve 5^3 as

= 5×5×5

= 125

Plzz mark me as brainliest :)★

X is the seats in the small van.

y is the seats in the large van = (x + 6). Since the large has 6 more seats.

Since the 2 vans can transport 57 people.

Small van makes 2 trips = 2x.

Large van makes one trip = (x + 6).

2x + (x +6) = 57

2x + x + 6 = 57

3x + 6 = 57

3x = 57 -6

3x = 51

x = 51/3

x = 17.

The larger van has (x + 6) = (17 + 6) = 23.

The larger van has 23 seats.
