Answer:
Final answer is 
.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given expression is 
Now we need to find about what is product of both factors.
We see that both factors are in exponent form having equal base "x".
So we can apply formula: 
Hence final answer is .
Answer:
-8/3
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope-intercept of the line is
y= -2/3x + 2
Going up 2, left 3
Change in y
------------------
change in x
Problem 23
A = 40
B = 3x+1
C = 3x+1
B and C are congruent, so they have the same angle measure
The three angles of any triangle add to 180 degrees
A+B+C = 180
40+(3x+1)+(3x+1) = 180
6x+42 = 180
6x = 180-42
6x = 138
x = 138/6
x = 23
Answer: B) 23

Problem 24
AB is the midsegment parallel to XY
So AB is half that of XY
AB = (1/2)*XY
AB = (1/2)*28
AB = 14
Answer: B) 14

Problem 25
Note the ratio of the given rectangle's sides: 7/12 = 0.583 roughly
Divide the answer choices in a similar fashion
A) 5/7 = 0.714
B) 14/36 = 0.389
C) 21/36 = 0.583
D) 21/48 = 0.4375
We get the same result in choice C as we did in the original rectangle
Answer: C) 21 ft x 36 ft
An equivalent fraction in higher terms is 9/12 because you must multiply the top by 3 because you multiplied the bottom by 3
