Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
By the negative exponent rule, you have that:

By the exponents properties, you know that:

Therefore, you can rewrite the left side of the equation has following:

Descompose 32 and 8 into its prime factors:

Rewrite:

Then:

As the base are equal, then:

Solve for x:

Factor to this equation out, the easiest way is to solve for the two x values that add up to -1 but when multiplied is equal to -6. It should look like this: (x +- ?)(x +- ?).
The factored out form is then (x - 3)(x +2), because -3 + 2 = -1 and when multiplied together gives -6.
x - 3 = 0
x = 3
x + 2 = 0
x = -2
The two solutions are therefore, x = 3 and x = -2.

Answer:
2.7
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2=5.8*1.3=7.54
x=V7.54=2.7
I would do it this way
$780+$225=$1005
$1005/120ft= $8.375
if you have to round up $8.38 per foot
