-(2y-8)-3(1+x)-7
-10y+40-3(1-x)-7
-10y+40-3-3x-7
-10y+30-3x
C=x+9, c+x=99, c=99-x
So we have two equations equal to c, c=x+9 and c=99-x, since c=c:
x+9=99-x
2x+9=99
2x=90
x=45, and since c=x+9, c=54
So Charlie weighs 54 kg and his brother weighs 45 kg.
The scale factor is 0.5. This is an example of an reduction

Answer:Thus, (-3)-4 = 1/(-3)4.
Step-by-step explanation:
Negative exponents have the following property: n-m = 1/nm OR 1/n-m = nm
So for (-3)-4 , n= -3 and -m= -4 (or m= 4).
Thus, (-3)-4 = 1/(-3)4.
