Answer:
134 children and 120 adult plates were served
Step-by-step explanation:
let the children mean be x
Let the adult meal be y
If fourteen less children’s meals were served than adult meals at a barbecue, then;
y = x - 14 .... 1
IF Children plate were 1.50 each and adult plates were 2.00 each with a total of 441 in amount then;
1.5x + 2y = 441 .... 2
Substitute 1 into 2;
1.5x + 2(x-14) = 441
1.5x+2x-28 = 441
3.5x = 441+28
3.5x = 469
x = 469/3.5
x = 134
Recall that y = x - 14
y = 134-14
y = 120
Hence 134 children and 120 adult plates were served
Answer:
1. Rewriting the expression 5.a.b.b.5.c.a.b.5.b using exponents we get: 
5. 
6. 
7. 
Step-by-step explanation:
Question 1:
We need to rewrite the expression using exponents
5.a.b.b.5.c.a.b.5.b
We will first combine the like terms
5.5.5.a.a.b.b.b.b.c
Now, if we have 5.5.5 we can write it in exponent as: 
a.a as
b.b.b.b as: 
So, our result will be:

Rewriting the expression 5.a.b.b.5.c.a.b.5.b using exponents we get: 
Question:
Rewrite using positive exponent:
The rule used here will be:
which states that if we need to make exponent positive, we will take it to the denominator.
Applying thee above rule for getting the answers:
5)
6) 
7) 
We know that
so, we get
