when you multiply exponents, they add together and the base will remain the same:
-5+-2
=-7
therefore the answer is 8^-7
to get rid of the negative, flip the fraction so it becomes
1/8^7
Given:
Cost of two donuts and three cookies = $3.30
Cost of five donuts and two cookies = $4.95
To find:
The cost of each donut.
Solution:
Let x be the cost of each donut and y be the cost of each cookie.
Cost of two donuts and three cookies = $3.30
...(i)
Cost of five donuts and two cookies = $4.95
...(ii)
Multiply equation (i) by 2.
...(iii)
Multiply equation (ii) by 3.
...(iv)
Subtracting (iii) from (iv), we get


Divide both sides by 11.


Therefore, the cost of each donut is $0.75.
Answer:
1) 2a+4a+10-6= 6a + 4
2) 3x-5x+7-7= -2x
3) - 15b+10 +10b= -5b + 10
4) - 4d+d-8-6+3b= - 3d - 14 +3b
Add 4 to both sides
x < -5
Closed circle at x = 5, line points left
X both sides by 11
=6x+2=-22
-2 from both sides
=6x=-24
both sides /6
=x=-3
