Answer:

$3^{-2} = \dfrac{1}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Definition of negative exponent:

$a^{-n} = \dfrac{1}{a^n}$

In our case, a = 3 and -n = -2.

$3^{-2} = \dfrac{1}{3^2}$

Now we just evaluate the power in the denominator.

$3^{-2} = \dfrac{1}{3^2} = \dfrac{1}{9}$

A fruit company delivers its fruit in two types of boxes: large and small. A delivery of 5 large boxes and 2 small boxes has a t

nikdorinn [45]

Each large box weighs 15 kilograms and each small box weighs 13.5 kilograms.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Weight of large box = x

Weight of small box = y

According to given statement;

5x+2y=102 Eqn 1

3x+8y=153 Eqn 2

Multiyplying Eqn 1 by 4

$4(5x+2y=102)\\20x+8y=408\ \ \ Eqn\ 3$

Subtracting Eqn 2 from Eqn 3

$(20x+8y)-(3x+8y)=408-153\\20x+8y-3x-8y=255\\17x=255$

Dividing both sides by 17

$\frac{17x}{17}=\frac{255}{17}\\x=15$

Putting x=15 in Eqn 2

$15(3)+8y=153\\45+8y=153\\8y=153-45\\8y=108$

Dividing both sides by 8

$\frac{8y}{8}=\frac{108}{8}\\y=13.5$

Each large box weighs 15 kilograms and each small box weighs 13.5 kilograms.

noname [10]

<h2>Key Ideas</h2>

Systems of equations

<h2>Solving the Question</h2>

When both sides of the equal sign are equal, there are infinite solutions.

When you are able to isolate the variable, there is only one solution.

When the equation states an untrue expression, there is no solution.

1=3 is an untrue fact. Therefore, there would be no solutions to the system.

<h2>Answer</h2>

There is no solution
