Answer: So i think what you want is for the first one you want the crocadile mouths pointing to the nine, and the same for the second, it is kinda confusing pic
Answer:
y = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
It is always a good idea to look at the question and make some observations about it. Here, you might observe ...
- all of the bases are powers of 3: 243 = 3^5; 9 = 3^2
- y is a factor of every exponent
The latter observation is important, because it means that when y=0, every exponential expression has a value of 1. Hence y = 0 is a solution.

To solve the equation, you can write it in terms of powers of 3.
(3^5)^(-y) = (3^-5)^(3y)·(3^2)^(-2y)
3^(-5y) = 3^(-15y)·3^(-4y)
3^(-5y) = 3^(-19y)
-5y = -19y . . . . . . . . equating exponents; equivalent to taking log base 3
14y = 0 . . . . . . . . . . add 19y
y = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . one solution
______
The rules of exponents we used are ...
(a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)
(a^b)^c = a^(bc)
1/a^b = a^-b
1. Divide the target number of shirts, 12,600 by the company's rate of making the shirts. That is,
number of hours = 12,600 shirts/ (1200 shirts/6 hours)
= 63 hours
2. Determine the number of workdays for them to complete the shirts by dividing 63 hours by 9 hours/workday. This will give us an answer of 7 workdays.
Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don’t contain the variable.
X = -2
Hope this helps!
Have a great day!
