Answer:
B should be the answer but it could but C
Answer:
x=2.5, y=-5. (2.5, -5).
Step-by-step explanation:
5y+2(2.5)=-10
5y+5=-10
5y=-10-5
5y=-15
y=-15/5
y=-5
You first multiply the outside exponents into the numbers in the parentheses.
When you have an exponent being multiplied directly to another exponent, you multiply the exponents together.
For example(because I am a bad explainer):


When you divide an exponent by an exponent, you subtract the exponents
For example:

When you have a negative exponent, you move it to the other side of the fraction to make the exponent positive
For example:



You can think of it like this if you want:
Now multiply the outside exponents into the exponents in the parentheses
Divide 27 and 9

Your answer is

Answer: 112 square cm</h3>
=====================================
Work Shown:
area = base*height
area = 16*7
area = 112 square cm

Extra info (optional section):
The area formula for a parallelogram is the same as the formula for a rectangle. Imagine tilting a rectangle so that it's slanted. The area has not changed.
Or another thing to imagine is that let's say we had a stack of 2 by 4s. If the stack is perfectly vertical, aka forming a rectangle, then we can nudge the beams so that we can form a slanted parallelogram instead. Both configurations involve the same amount of wood, and therefore would lead to the same frontal surface area.
