Answer: Smaller
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiplying a number by 1.25 increases it by a quarter
Multiplying a number by 0.75 decreases it by a quarter
1.25 / 0.75 = 0.9375
Thus, increasing something by a quarter then decreasing it by a quarter, you are effectively multiplying that number by 0.9375, which is less than 1, so the number will decrease.

Answer:
Sakura spoke for 2 minutes in Hungarian and for 3 minutes in Polish
Step-by-step explanation:
So make the variables.
Hungarian = x
Polish = y
x and y are the amount of time she spent in minutes.
x + y = 5
150x + 270 = 190y
x = 5 - y
750 - 150y + 270 = 190y
1020 = 340y
y = 3
x = 2
You would equal the equations together then solve for a variable.
-4x - 3 = -2x + 1
-4x + 2x = 1 + 3
-2x = 4
—— —-
-2 -2
x = -2
then take that x value and substitute it into any one of the equations.
Equation #1
y = -4(-2) -3
= 8 - 3
= 5
Equation #2
y = -2(-2) + 1
= 4 + 1
= 5
Use Multiplication Distribute Property: (xy)^a = x^ay^a
6^2(x^-2)^2(0.5x)^4
Simplify 6^2 to 36
36(x^-2)^2(0.5x)^4
Use this rule: (x^a)^b = x^ab
36x^-4(0.5x)^4
Use the Negative Power Rule: x^-a = 1/x^a
36 × 1/x^4(0.5x)^4
Use the Multiplication Distributive Property: (xy)^a = x^ay^a
36 × 1/x^4 × 0.5^4x^4
Simplify 0.5^4 to 0.0625
36 × 1/x^4 × 0.0625x^4
Simplify
2.25x^4/x^4
Cancel x^4
<u>2.25</u>
