Answer 1

To match the sentence "Add 24 and 17; then, raise the sum to the 3rd power," we first need to calculate the sum of 24 and 17, which is:

24 + 17 = 41

Next, we raise that sum (41) to the 3rd power:

41³

In terms of the choices given, we can write this as:

(24 + 17)³

So the correct answer is:

A. (24 + 17)³
