No, becasue of PEMDAS
so parenthasees first
exponents next
mulitplciation next
(-2)^4=-2 times -2 times -2 times -2=positive number since even number of negative signs
-2^4=-1 times 2^2=-1 times 2 times 2 times 2 times 2=negative number since odd number of negative signs
Answer:
<u>Length of 1 piece= Length of total divided by 8</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Length of total= 5.24 feet long
Width of total= 1.34 feet wide
Width is divided by 1 line so, there are 2 parts.
Width= 1.34 divided by 2
Width= 0.67 feet wide
Length is divided by 7 lines, so there are 8 parts.
Length= 5.24 divided by 8
Length=0.655 feet long
They are asking for formula to find the length of each piece
<u>Length of 1 piece= Length of total divided by 8</u>
<u></u>
Hope that helps!
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Length of sandwich = 
Total people = 14
If everyone gets a same sized piece , then length of each piece should be
Hence, length of each piece =
Remember, in order for this equation to be true either one of the polynomials has to equal 0
So:
-> x+6 = 0
x=-6
-> 2x-5 = 0
2x= 5
x= 5/2
So the answer is x=-6 and x= 5/2.
Hope this helps!
