From the problem :

In multiplying expressions with the same bases, the exponent will be added accordingly.
For example :

the exponent of a are m and n, and the product will be a raised to the sum of m and n.
Applying this to the problem, we have :

The answer is d. 6^-1
Answer:
Solution: x = 2, y = -1 or (2, -1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation 1: 2x + y = 3
Equation 2: 5x - 2y = 12
Using the substitution method:
Transform the Equation 1 into its slope-intercept form:
2x + y = 3
2x - 2x + y = -2x + 3
y = 2x + 3
Substitute the value of y = -2x + 3 into Equation 2:
5x - 2y = 12
5x - 2(-2x + 3) = 12
5x + 4x - 6 = 12
9x - 6 = 12
9x - 6 + 6 = 12 + 6
9x = 18
9x/9 = 18/9
x = 2
Substitute the value of x = 2 into Equation 2 to solve for y:
5x - 2y = 12
5(2) - 2y = 12
10 - 2y = 12
10 - 10 - 2y = 12 - 10
-2y = 2
-2y/-2 = 2/-2
y = -1
Double-check whether the values for x and y will provide a true statement for both equations:
Equation 1: 2x + y = 3
2(2) + (-1) = 3
4 - 1 = 3
3 = 3 (True statement)
Equation 2: 5x - 2y = 12
5(2) - 2(-1) = 12
10 + 2 = 12
12 = 12 (True statement)
Therefore, the correct answers are: x = 2; y = -1 or (2, -1).
Answer:
-3
Step-by-step explanation:
2^2 = 4
4 + (-3) = 1
4*2 = 8
8 * -1 = -8
-8 / 2 = -4
1 + -4 = -3
No it isn’t. it works for the first equation but not the second
2*3/8
whenever dividing the second fraction flips
2*3/8
You can divide by 2 for 2 and 8
2/2=1
8/2=4
1/4*3
=3/4
Answer is 3/4
