First of all, you should know/notice that

You should also know how negative exponents work:

So, if you wanted

the answer would be x=3, but since you want 125 to be at the denominator, the answer is x=-3:

Answer:
92 * 1.5 = 138
138* .2 = $27.60
Step-by-step explanation:
It is true that the product of two consecutive even integers are always one less than the square of their average.
<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:
Let the two consecutive odd integers be 1 and 3.
- The product of 1 and 3 is (1
3)=3 - The average of 1 and 3 is (1+3)/2 =4/2 = 2
- The square of their average is (2)² = 4
∴ The product 3 is one less than the square of their average 4.
Let the two consecutive even integers be 2 and 4.
- The product of 2 and 4 is (2
4)=8 - The average of 2 and 4 is (2+4)/2 =6/2 = 3
- The square of their average is (3)² = 9
∴ The product 8 is one less than the square of their average 9.
Thus, It is true that the product of two consecutive even integers are always one less than the square of their average.
