It is a beacuse it’s is q that’s all
Ahh yes, negative exponents always give us a scare once and a while. All the negative means is to flip the position of its base. For instance, if x has a negative exponent and x in the denominator, all you would have to do is move x to the numerator with the same power (except it's no longer negative). Before we substitute x and all the other variables which the values given, let's eliminate the negatives first.
After flipping positions/eliminating the negative exponents it should look like this:

which simplifies to

now that everything is simplified, and all negative exponents are eliminated we can substitute x with 2, and y with (-4).

which simplifies to

Final Answer: - \frac{1}{32} [/tex]
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:




Divide both sides by -2. We know that since 2 is negative, it'll be < (less than) 0. So, the direction of inequality will change.

Divide 26 by -2..we'll get the answer as -13.

Now, subtract 3 from both the sides.

Subtracting -13 by 3..we'll get the answer as -16.

Divide both sides by 2. We know that since 2 is positive, the direction of inequality will remain the same.

Divide -16 by 2..we'll get the answer as -8.

- The correct answer is ⇨ <u>x </u><u>greater </u><u>than </u><u>or </u><u>equal</u><u> to</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u>8</u><u>.</u>
