Simplify the expression. 1 3 3 m +8 4 3m 3 2 3 1 3 3 +8 4 2 (Use the operation symbols in the math palette as ne any numbers in the expression.)

Answer 1

We need to simplify the following expression

$\frac{3}{4}m^3+8-\frac{1}{2}m^3$

We first group the similar terms, they are the first and the third one

$(\frac{3}{4}m^3-\frac{1}{2}m^3)+8$

then we use common factor to take out the m^3 of the parenthesis

$m^3(\frac{3}{4}-\frac{1}{2})+8=\frac{1}{4}m^3+8=4(m^3+2)^{}$
