The exponent indicates how many time the base is used as a factor
My answer is A (the first graph picture). Here is my explanation.
1. 2x = 24 - 4y (Move the variable to the right side and change the sign)
2. X = 12 - 2y (Divide both sides of the equation by 2)
3. Y = 6 and X = 12 (I used my graphing calculator and A is what I got)
Hope this helps, if not, then I apologize! :)
You must simplify it to find the answer. You get 2 over 1 which equals just 2.
