Answer:
It is the second answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
When numbers with the same base are multiplied, you add the bases.
1/2 + 3/4 is the same as
2/4 + 3/4 = 5/4
So now we have 2 ^5/4^2. When we have a power raised to a power. We multiply the powers.
5/4(2)
(5/4(2/1) = 10/4 = 5/2. The second answer is the same way to describe
2^(5/2)
Yes you have a good example.
x = number of cookies
2*x = total amount spent on cookies at $2 each
2x-3 = amount you pay after the $3 discount is applied one time for the entire order
-------------
a more numeric example may be this
Lets say you bought 12 cookies, so x = 12
This means it costs 2*x = 2*12 = 24 dollars total if the discount doesnt apply
However, the 3 dollar discount is there, so the grand total is 24-3 = 21 dollars.
Answer:
1. You first have to find the slope
2. Next, you have to find the y-intercept
3. Finally, you have to put it in y = mx + b form.
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of 2 points is; 
The y-intercept is; 
y = mx + b
m is always the slope
b is always the starting point or y-intercept
It will just keep going on as a decimal so you do not need to keep going, three spaces after the decimal should be an acceptable answer.
