Hey there!
When multiplying variables with the same degree, be sure to add the two degrees being multiplied.
For example;
x * x; both of these terms have the degree of "1" as they are "x^1". Since we are multiplying them, we need to add their degrees.
x^1 * x^1 = x^2
Now that we've broken down what we are doing, let's apply this new knowledge to your problem.
(x^3)(x^-2); Remember to just add the degrees; -2 + 3 = 1
This means our product is x^1, or just x.
I hope this helps!
Answer:
if we take the number of quarters Barrett have to be x we know Penelope has twice that ie 2x. so in total they have 2x+x = 60, 3x = 60; so x= 60/3 = 20.
Barrett has 20 quarters.
