Answer:
5 * 5 * 5 * 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the rules of Indices.
5⁶⁻²
= 5⁴
9 is the answer for that problem
Exact form: 3336711069/389
Decimal form: 8577663.42 (rounded)
Mixed number form: 8577663 & 162/389
26 by 9
Area = L*W
Area = 26 * 9
Area = 234 square feet but there are 2 such walls
Area = 234 * 2
Area = 468 square feet total for these walls.
18 by 9
Area = L*W
Area = 18 * 9
Area = 162 square feet
Total area = 468 + 162 = 630 square feet.
1 gallon covers 250 square feet
x gallon covers 630 square feet
1/x = 250/630
250 x = 1 * 630
x = 630 / 250
x = 2.52 gallons. It is best that she buy 3 gallons of paint.
Answer: Negative
If the same negative number is multiplied to each side of a true inequality, then the inequality sign flips to make the new inequality true as well
Example:
Take 1 < 5 and multiply both sides by -2 and we get -2 > -10. The "less than" sign flips to "greater than" since -2 < -10 is false. The value of -10 is further to the left of -2 so -10 is smaller in value. The negative basically takes the complete opposite which is why the flip must happen.
This sign flip rule does not happen if you multiply both sides by a positive number.
