Answer:

Thus, we say that x2 is "x raised to the power of two" or equivalently "x squared" (which is x mulitplied by itself). ... The number represented here as x is called the base, and n is called the power or exponent.

KengaRu [80]

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Your question isn't complete but let me help out. The value of each shirt will be gotten by subtracting $47.15 from the total amount paid for the shirt and jacket. Let's say the total amount paid is $90.02

Since the jacket cost $47.15, the cost of the shirts will be:

= $90.02 - $47.15

= $42.87

We would now divide the coat if the three shirts by 3. This will be:

= $42.87 ÷ 3

= $14.29
