Hope you know that x^(-1) = 1/x  used this you get 

(-5x^3)^-2 = 1/(-5x^3)^2 = 1/{(-5^2)(x^6)} = 1/(25x^6)

hope helped

a^{-n}=\dfrac{1}{a^n}\\\\(a^n)^m=a^{n\cdot m}\\\\(a\cdot b)^n=a^n\cdot b^n\\------------------\\\\\left(-5x^3\right)^{-2}=\dfrac{1}{\left(-5x^3\right)^2}=\dfrac{1}{(-5)^2(x^3)^2}=\dfrac{1}{25x^{3\cdot2}}=\boxed{\dfrac{1}{25x^6}}

Kevin is 333 times as old as Daniel. 444 years ago, Kevin was 555 times as old as Daniel. How old is Kevin now?
My name is Ann [436]

Let D be Daniel's present age, then we can represent Kevin's present age as 3D because Kevin is 3 times as old as Daniel.

We can write an expression for Daniel's age 4 years ago as D-4 and Kevin's age 4 years ago as 3D-4.

We are told that 4 years ago Kevin was 5 times as old as Daniel. We can write this information as:

3D-4=5\cdot(D-4)

Now let us solve our equation to find Daniel's present age.

3D-4=5D-20

-4+20=5D-3D

16=2D

D=\frac{16}{2}=8

Daniel's present age is 8 years. Now we will multiply 8 by 3 to get Kevin's present age as Kevin is 3 times old as Daniel.

\text{Kevin's present age}=8\cdot3=24

Therefore, Kevin is 24 years old now.
