24 inches would be your answer
A negative exponent just means that the base is on the wrong side of the fraction line, so you need to flip the base to the other side. For instance, "x^-2" just means "x2, but underneath, as in 1/x^2.
-4^-2 means the power -2 is only applied to 4 and not the negative sign. -4^-2 = -(4^-2), which is equal to -1/16.
Whereas, (-4)^-2 means the power -2 affects on both negative sign and 4. For example, (-4)^2 is equal to (-4 * -4) which is just 16. Moving on, with (-4)^-2 equals to 1/(-4*-4) = 1/16.

Answer: 6(3x + 4y)
1. Find the GCF (the largest number that goes into both 18x AND 24y). This would be 6.
2. Factor out the 6 by dividing each of the terms by the GCF
18x/6 = 3x
24y/6 = 4y
3. Write as a factored expression
6(3x + 4y)
Answer:
the answer is 21
