5^-3 is 1/125
The negative in the exponent makes it so there is a 1 over the problem if there was no negative. When you have a negative in the exponent, the answer will be the reciprocal (opposite) of the question with no negative.
For example,
9^2 = 81
9^-2 = 1/81
Answer:
x = 1.2375 or 99/90
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Distribute</u>
21 + 40(2x - 3)
21 + 80x - 120
<u>Step 2: Combine like terms</u>
21 + 80x - 120
80x - 99
<u>Step 3: Solve for x</u>
80x - 99 + 99 = 0 + 99
80x / 80 = 99 / 80
x = 1.2375
Answer: x = 1.2375 or 99/80
