Answer:

"subtracting b, then dividing by m"

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for a particular variable, look a the operations that are being performed on that variable. Then "undo" those operations in reverse order.

Here, the operations done to x are ...

• multiply by m

• add b to the product

Using the above recipe, first we "undo" the additon of b. We accomplish that by subtracting b from both sides of the equation. This gives ...

y - b = mx + b - b

y - b = mx . . . . . . . . . simplify

Next, we "undo" the multiplicatin by m. We accomplish that by dividing both sides of the equation by m.

(y -b)/m = mx/m

(y -b)/m = x . . . . . . . . simplify

This is your solution for x:

x = (y - b)/m

We found it by subtracting b, then dividing by m on both sides of the equation.

Write each fraction as an expression with negative exponents.
Artemon [7]
The answer is w⁻²/v⁻².

v/w raised to the second power is (v/w)²

(v/w)² = v²/w²

Since xᵃ = 1/x⁻ᵃ, then v²/w² = 1/v⁻²w²

Since 1/xᵃ = x⁻ᵃ, then 1/v⁻²w² = w⁻²/v⁻²

One year after graduating from college, Sam earned $42,000. Each year, he earned $4000 more.
xxMikexx [17]
The answer is:
an=4000n+38,000

Sam has $42,000 one year after graduating. So when he graduates, he would have $38000.

Hope this helps!
