Answer:

c. 3a^2b^11/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The applicable rule of exponents is ...

(a^b)/(a^c) = a^(b-c)

$\dfrac{-18a^{-2}b^5}{-12a^{-4}b^{-6}}=\dfrac{-18}{-12}a^{-2-(-4)}b^{5-(-6)}=\boxed{\dfrac{3a^2b^{11}}{2}}$

Vika [28.1K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the readable scores are:

100, 82, 95, __ , 90, 81, 75, 83, __

We know the mean (or average) is 85, so:

85 = (100 + 82 + 95 + x + 90 + 81 + 75 + 83 + y) / 9

765 = 606 + x + y

159 = x + y

We know the lowest score is 75, so x and y must be at least 76. Possible answers are:

76 and 83

77 and 82

78 and 81

79 and 80

80 and 79

81 and 78

82 and 77

83 and 76

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

The cost of an oil change for 1 truck was $42

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the cost of an oil change for 1 truck

y -----> the cost of gas for 1 truck

z ----> the total bill

we know that

$z=11[x+y]$

we have

$z=\$694.32$

$y=(6)(3.52)=\$21.12$

substitute and solve for x

$694.32=11[x+21.12]$

$x=(694.32/11)-21.12$

$x=\$42$
