Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a = - 1 2/5 and b = 2 1/3
<u>We have a + b, lets compare with the options:</u>
- A) a + (- b) = a - b, no
- B) a - b, no
- C) b + a = a + b, yes
- D) b - a, no
4/5 = 80%
2/3 = 66.66666...%
4/5 is a bigger fraction, so (4/5) x 45 is a bigger fraction.

I'm going to take a guess at this and say what you meant is 2401 = 7^(6 - 2x)
Step One
Find out the power of 7 that will equal 2401.
You could do it like this.
7^y = 2401 and just guess at some values.
y 7^y
1 7
2 49
3 7 * 7 * 7 = 343
4 7 * 7 * 7 * 7 = 2401 So the answer is 4
7^4 = 2401
Step 2
Equate the powers.
2401 = 7^(6 - 2x)
7^4 = 7^ (6 - 2x)
4 = 6 - 2x Subtract 6 from both sides.
4 - 6 = - 2x
-2 = - 2x divide by - 2
-2/-2 = x
x = 1 <<<<<<<<<<<<<answer
3(8)-12=12
24-12=12
The fourth choice.
Yeah I think you already got it
