Tamika ran the fastest time at 21.6 seconds in 120 meters because the faster you run the less time you have on your timer.
3+5(x-4)
= 3 + 5x - 20
= 5x - 17
3(x-6) = -12
3x - 18 = -12
3x = 6
x = 2
When you raise a number to a negative exponent, change the exponent to a positive and make the complete number a fraction with 1 as the numerator.
5 ^-2 = 1/5^2
The answer is C.
➡3x - ( 7 over 12)
➡ [12 (3x ) - 7 ] over 12
➡ ( 36x - 7 ) over 12
4/7 is the simplest form
You can divide 20 by 5 and get 4 and divide 35 by 5 and get 7
