Answer:

The person solving the problem first subtracted 6 from 15. Since the cube root is next to the six, the problem should be read as
15-6(\sqrt[3]{(-1000)/(27) } ) rather than
(15-6)(\sqrt[3]{(-1000)/(27) } ).

  • To solve it correctly, first find the cube root of -1000/27: -10/3
  • Next, multiply by 6: -20
  • Finally, subtract from 15: 35

please lmk if anything is wrong with my answer, hope this helps :)
