13/200 is the simplest form
Note that when dividing, and the base is the same, you can subtract the power signs.
(5^5)/(5^2) = 5^(5 - 2)
5 - 2 = 3
5^3 = a^b
Simplify.
5^3 = 5 x 5 x 5
5 x 5 x 5 = 125
c = 125

Answer:
Look at the equations:
y
=
−
9
x
−
21
and
y
=
5
x
+
7
Because both equations equal (y), they both equal the same.
If an equations says "
y
=
−
9
x
−
21
" , that means we can replace (y) with
−
9
x
−
21
.
Therefore when i take the equation:
y
=
5
x
+
7
, we can replace (y) to get:
−
9
x
−
21
=
5
x
+
7
Now isolate (x):
−
9
x
−
21
=
5
x
+
7
⇔
−
21
=
14
x
+
7
⇔
−
28
=
14
x
⇔
x
=
−
2
