Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
t = tutoring and g = grocery store
t + g = 15......t = 15 - g
15t + 9g = 159
15(15 - g) + 9g = 159
225 - 15g + 9g = 159
-15g + 9g = 159 - 225
-6g = - 66
g = -66/-6
g = 11 <===== 11 hrs worked at the grocery store
t + g = 15
t + 11 = 15
t = 15 - 11
t = 4.....4 hrs tutoring
Answer:- a.The given expression is equivalent to 
Given expression:- ![[\frac{(3xy^{-5})^3}{(x^{-2}y^2)^{-4}}]^{-2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B%5Cfrac%7B%283xy%5E%7B-5%7D%29%5E3%7D%7B%28x%5E%7B-2%7Dy%5E2%29%5E%7B-4%7D%7D%5D%5E%7B-2%7D)

Thus a. is the right answer.
He can make 5 sculptures.
We divide the amount of clay, 14 pounds, by the amount it takes to make one sculpture, 2 4/5 pounds:
14 ÷ 2/45 = 14 ÷ 14/5 = 14/1 ÷14/5 = 14/1 × 5/14 = 70/14 = 5
F(x , y) = x + y - xy, D is the closed triangular region with vertices (0, 0), (0 , 2) , and (4 , 0)
The distance is 15 because -10 + 15 = 5
