Now we have a negative exponent, which is the opposite of a positive exponent.
If a positive exponent means you're multiplying by 10s and it makes a number bigger by moving the decimal to the right, then
the opposite of this is that a negative exponent means you're dividing by 10s and making the number smaller by moving the decimal point to the left.
Examples:
The trick is to recognize that
is the same thing as 
and 
mean the same thing.
So, 
For your exercise, 
means you'll move the decimal point 24 places to the left, to make the number smaller.
Answer:
-5x+9=9
-5x+9-9=9-9

x= 0/5
x= 0
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
1 foot = 12 inches
We need to convert 5 feet 6 inches to just inches. To do this, let's multiply how many inches there are in one foot by 5 feet.
12 × 5 = 60
That means that 5 feet are equal to 60 inches. We still have 6 inches left. Add them:
60 + 6 = 66
ANSWER:
5 fest 6 inches = 66 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:
Each box is worth 2 units, because the x and y axis are counting by 2s
1. The model is <span>14x19x11 centimeters. The ratio is 1 cm : 0.5 m.
14(0.5) = 7
19(0.5) = 9.5
11(0.5) = 5.5
</span>7x9.5x5.5 meters
b) 365.75 m^3
2. To find the money spent on food, all you do is find the percent of food of the total income. food = 35%, income = $2000
35% of 2000
0.35(2000)
a) $700
3. <span>4.8x-1.3=1.7
First add 1.3 to both sides to cancel it out.
4.8x = 3
Divide both sides by 4.8.
x = 0.625
</span><span>c) 0.63</span>
