Hello!
For this you can plug in the x values in the choices and see if you get the y value
y = [tex] -4^{3} - (-4)[/tex]
-4^3 is -64
when you subtract a negative you are just adding
-64 + 4 = 60
Then you do the second one
[tex]y = -3^{3} - (-3)[/tex]
-3^3 is -27
-27 + 3 is -24
Then the third one
[tex]y = -2^{3} - (-2)[/tex]
-2^3 is -8
-8 + 2 is -6
Then the last one
[tex]y = -1^{3} - (-1)[/tex]
-1^3 is -1
-1 + 1 = 0
Since we did not get -2 the answer is D
Hope this Helps!
