Answer:
x = -
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
20x + 12 = 4x - 16 ( subtract 4x from both sides )
16x + 12 = - 16 ( subtract 12 from both sides )
16x = - 28 ( divide both sides by 16 )
x = = - [ = - 1.75 ]
A bakers dozen is 12 which would be $0.41 for each cookie. If you meant 13, it would be $0.38. All you have to do is divide 4.94 by the amount of cookies
It appears that the Pythagorean theorem can be applied to this problem
(distance to shadow)² = (height of building)² + (length of shadow)²
(38 m)² = (height of building)² + (28 m)²
660 m² = (height of building)²
Then the height of the building is
height of building = √660 m ≈ 25.7 m
I disagree. The first one is false. No exponent rules apply if the bases AND the exponents are different.
The second one is true. Bases are the sane so you add exponents. You get 3 to the -5 power. Written with positive exponents it’s 1/3 to the 5.
