Answer:
1. The negative sign on an exponent means the reciprocal. A negative exponent tells how many times to divide a base number.
2. A positive tells how many times to multiply a base number.
could you also give me a brainliest if I am correct.
thanks!
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:


This is because we subtract 456 from each side.

We then divide the whole equation by <em>x</em> .

Adding 50 to both sides gives us <em>x</em> by itself, hope this helps :D
Answer:
x = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write equation
-2x + 8 = 18
Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>
- Subtract 8 on both sides: -2x = 10
- Divide both sides by -2: x = -5
Step 3: Check
<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>
-2(-5) + 8 = 18
10 + 8 = 18
18 = 18
The answer is 73.5
To make it a lot easier split the shapes into a rectangle and triangle.
The rectangle is a tad easier because the measurements are given here.
5 x 12 = 60 (rectangle area)
To find the triangle find the base then height. The base is 3cm and the height is 9cm (shown above)
9 x 3 = 27
Divide that by 2 because it's a triangle and you get 13.5.
Add those two numbers and voila you have your answer of 73.5.
