<u>Given</u>:
The given expression is 
We need to determine how the expression can be simplified.
<u>Simplifying the expression:</u>
Let us determine how the expression can be simplified.
The expression is given by

Applying the exponent rule that
in the above expression, we get;

Adding the exponents, we get;

Again, applying the exponent rule
, we get;

Thus, the simplified expression is 
Hence, the expression is simplified by adding the exponents and keep the same base. Then find the reciprocal and change the sign of the exponent.
Therefore, Option D is the correct answer.
Answer:
Sadie took 47 minutes to finish her test.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Laura's time be x minutes.
Then we have:
x + 3x - 16 = 68
4x = 84
x = 21 minutes.
So Sadie took 3(21) - 16 = 63-16
= 47 minutes.
A) y= x+1
b) y= -2/3x-5
c) y=-1/2x+12
d) y= 4x-3/2
According to my calculations all the answers should be correct.
Substitute the value of the variable into the expression and simplify 37
