Let's simplify the expression step by step using the order of operations.

The expression given is: \( (8 - 5) \times 3 - 11 \)

  1. First, simplify inside the parentheses: \[ 8 - 5 = 3 \] So, the expression becomes: \[ 3 \times 3 - 11 \]

  2. Next, do the multiplication: \[ 3 \times 3 = 9 \] Now, the expression is: \[ 9 - 11 \]

  3. Finally, perform the subtraction: \[ 9 - 11 = -2 \]

Thus, the simplified expression is: \[ \boxed{-2} \]

what about the one to the 3rd power

Let's clarify your expression with the inclusion of the exponent to the third power. The expression you've provided seems to be \( (8 - 5)^3 - 11 \).

Let's simplify that step by step:

  1. First, simplify inside the parentheses: \[ 8 - 5 = 3 \] So now the expression becomes: \[ 3^3 - 11 \]

  2. Next, calculate \( 3^3 \): \[ 3^3 = 27 \] Now the expression is: \[ 27 - 11 \]

  3. Finally, perform the subtraction: \[ 27 - 11 = 16 \]

Thus, the simplified expression is: \[ \boxed{16} \]
