Lets x is price of noble fir trees and y - is price for douglas fir trees
students got 5x+3y=420$ on friday
and 12x+9y=1080
now we need just solve the system of equations
5x+3y=420 - multiply by 3
12x+9y=1080

15x+9y=1260
12x+9y=1080
substract second equation from first
15x-12x=1260-1080
3x=180 x=60$ - the price of noble fir trees

put value x=60 in first equation 5x+3y=420
5*60+3y=420
300+3y=420
3y=120 y=40$ - price of Douglas fir trees

Answer: Noble fir trees cost $60 and Douglas fir trees cost $40

It would cost $16.65

$9.99 divided by 3 is 3.33 so we know one pizza costs $3.33. So now if I multiply the 5 pizzas times the cost of one I get 5 x $3.33 = $16.65

Give a summary of the lesson what you have learned. about EXPONENTS!!​
DochEvi [55]
The exponent tells us how many times to multiply a base to itself. The base is, of course, the thing that's being multiplied. When we use exponents, we call it "raising to a power". The power equals to the exponent, so in our example, x is raised to a power of 4.


Or u can use this but the first one is better


Learning about exponents helps students think about and understand expressions. ... Identify when two expressions are equivalent (i.e., when the two expressions name the same number regardless of which value is substituted into them).
