Negative exponents mean that the base is on the wrong side of the fraction line. For example, x^-2 is the same as 1/x^2. In this example, 1/2^-2 would be 2.
2/1^2 = 2
To correctly solve x from the given equation,
3x - 3 = 6x + 1
We first subtract 3x from both sides of the equation and this will give us,
-3 = (6x - 3x) + 1
Simplifying,
-3 = 3x + 1
Then, subtract 1 again from both sides of the equation to give,
-4 = 3x
Lastly, divide both sides by 3 giving us a final answer for x which is x = -4/3.
Answer:
$15.8666666667 an hour on average
Step-by-step explanation:
14/7.5=1.8666666666
this means that for every hour the proofreader is working he proof reads 1.8666667 pages since he makes 8.5 for every page we have to multiply the pages per hour times the salary of every page to get his average hourly wage
1.8666666666 * 8.5 = $15.8666666667 an hour on average
If 21 out of 24 students did their homework, 3 out of 24 did not do it.
This written as a fraction is 3/24 and can be reduced to 1/8.
This in decimal form is 0.125 .
To convert the decimal to a percent, multiply by 100 and put a percent sign at the end of the number.
0.125 × 100 = 12.5
12.5%
