x = # of hours the bike was rented.

$28 = $7x
Divide both sides by $7
4 = x

The rule for negative exponents is that if the exponent is negative to begin with, in order to make it negative, you put it into the denominator of a fraction, and raise it to whatever the power is. To go from positive exponents (those that are already in the denominator), move it up to the numerator and make the exponent negative. So your solution would be 5x^-2

Answer:$18200
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the depreciating price after one year
7% of 28000
7/100* 28000=$1960 is the depreciating cost
Multiple the depreciating cost by 5 year
1960*5=9800
Actual cost - depreciating cost after 5 year
28000-9800= $18200
