The question is worded a bit strangely (in my opinion anyway), but I think your teacher wants you to describe how exponents work.
Let's say we had the expression 
The base is 5 as its the bottom most value (think of something like the base of a tree or building). The exponent is 3.
The exponent of 3 tells the reader to multiply the base 5 by itself 3 times like so
With larger exponents, it becomes more tedious to write out all the repeated multiplications, which is why many calculators have an exponent button to save time.
Answer:
<u>Group the Variable's</u>:
2 x - 5 + 7 y - 3 = 9 x - 1 - y -8
2x -9x + 7y +y = -1 -8 +5 + 3
-7x + 8y = -1
<u><em>From this find x and y</em></u>
<u>For X</u>
-7x + 8y = -1
-7x = -1 -8y
7x = 8y + 1
x = (8y +1)/7
<u>For Y</u>
-7x + 8y = -1
8y = -1 +7x
y = (7x -1)/8

Step-by-step explanation:
Apparently you want to simplify ...
The applicable rules of exponents are ...
(a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)
1/a^b = a^-b
(a^b)^c = a^(bc)
__
So the expression simplifies as ...
Answer:
x=1
Step-by-step explanation:
3^x +1
f(x)=3x+1
f(x) =g(x)
3x +1 =3^x +1
Subtract 1 from each side
3x = 3^x
Let x =1
3*1 = 3^1
3=3
Answer: Choice 1) The sum of the angles A and B are supplementary to angle C
Why is this the answer? Because we'll use facts 2 through 4 to help prove the triangles similar. If fact 2 is true, then fact 3 leads to helping set up the congruent corresponding angles (either A = D or C = E). Fact 4 is true because all angles are congruent to themselves, and this fact is the other angle pair we need to prove the triangles similar.
We don't use fact 1 even though it's a true statement. The fact that A+B+C = 180 isn't really useful to compare across two triangles.
