-q-7q=8
First you need to know that there is an invisible 1 in front of -q. Change it to -q if you need to. You get:
-1q-7q=8
add like terms: -1-7 gives you -8.
-8q=8. Divide by -8 on both sides to find q.
-8/8=-1
8/8=1
Therefore, q=1.
48 + 36 = 84
84/ 24 = 3.5
The students will each get 2 apple slices and 1 and a half orange slices.
To write this expression as a positive exponent we use this rule of exponents: xa=1x−a. 5−3=15−−3=153. Use this rule for exponents: xa=1x−a. 5−3=15−−3=153=1125.
