Yes, if the parents had the child at a very young age. ex. Parents: 80 years old Child: 72 years old

Mathematically, yes.
Realistically, no.
The difference in their ages is the parent's age when the child was born.
Let's say that the youngest possible is 12.
Then the ratio would be 10:9 when the parent is 120 and the child is 108.
Not likely.

Around $634.85 per year

Because:

$32.85+$35(12 months)+$3.5(52 weeks in a year)= Total cost per year
$420 $182

$32.85 + $420 + $182 = $634.85 per year

Can someone help simplify?: -8x^3y2(2x^4y^4)

Kisachek [45]

So the rule with multiplying exponents of the same base is to add the exponents together. Applying this rule here would look like this:

$-8x^3y^2*2x^4y^4=(-8*2)x^{3+4}y^{2+4}=-16x^7y^6$
