Answer:
A) 29/8
Step-by-step explanation:
On the left side of the equals sign, we have five x's and nine -1's.
On the right side of the equals sign, we have three -x's and twenty 1's.
Both sides are equal, so:
5(x) + 9(-1) = 3(-x) + 20(1)
5x − 9 = -3x + 20
Add 3x to both sides.
8x − 9 = 20
Add 9 to both sides.
8x = 29
Divide both sides by 8.
x = 29/8
I decided to do a addition problem because based on the answer it couldn't be multiplication, subtraction, or division. Therefore, my problem would look like 15+9=24 birds in total.

Answer:
p^3 / q^12
Step-by-step explanation:
p^6 q^4
------------------
p^3 q^16
We know a^b / a^c = a^(b-c)
First with variable p
p^6 / p ^3 = p^(6-3) = p^3
Then with variable q
q^4 / q^16 = q^(4-16) = q^-12 and a^-b = 1/ a^b = 1 /q^12
p^3 * 1/ q^12
p^3 / q^12
