Answer:
Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
Many students gets confused with these exponential problems, they often get misguided but understand that there is nothing to be confused of.
When you have a negative number, you just take the reciprocal of the whole exponent number.
What is a reciprocal?
Let's take an integer for example, let's take the number 3.
The reciprocal for 3 is (1/3)
Let's take an other number, let's take 2/3
The reciprocal for 2/3 is (3/2)
In conclusion, we just reverse the denominator and the numerator or just switch it.
We take 3 as (3/1) and that is the reason, the reciprocal would be (1/3)
Now, coming to the negative integers. Taking an example:
(2)⁻¹
This would be become (1/2¹) = (1/2)
Hence, the result of a negative integer is positive but would be a fraction.

In order to solve this inequality, we should divide both sides by 9:-

Why 9? Because x is multiplied by 9, and we need to isolate x in order to find its value.

Hence, that's the solution to the inequality.
<em>It also means that the numbers less than 8 will satisfy the given inequality (make the inequality true)</em>
(Option C is correct :) )

Let's use the variable x to represent the length of the first and second pieces.
If the third piece has twice the length of the first and second, its length is 2x.
If the fourth piece has half the length of the first and second, its length is 0.5*x.
Adding all four pieces and equating to 54 inches, we have:

So the length of each piece is:
12 inches, 12 inches, 24 inches and 6 inches.

C is the right answer

Your conclusion would equal
x = 5
