Solution
Given the expression below

To find the value of a, we apply the exponent rule, which is

Applyin it to the expression gives

Simplifying to find a

Hence, the value of a is 2/3
Answer:
189
Step-by-step explanation:
If mark uses 19 gallons to travel 399 miles, that means he was able to travel 21 miles per gallon.
We get this by taking 399 divided by 19.
So if mark travels on 9 gallons of gas and goes 21 miles per gallon, he will have traveled 189 miles.
We get this by taking 21 times 9
We need to solve the following system by substituition:

To solve by substituition means that we need to isolate one variable in one of the equations and replace one expression with the other. This is done below:

Then we need to replace the value of "x" in any of the two equations.

The solution is (-3,-5).
Use the cos rule
cos^-1(18^2+28^2-12^2 divided by 2*18*28
Which is 16.99 degrees, which is 17 (option d)
