Answer:
(a^8)/(b^9)
Step-by-step explanation:
Two rules of exponents come into play.
(a^b)/(a^c) = a^(b-c)
a^-b = 1/a^b
__
Applying the first rule, we have ...
(a^3)/(a^-5) × (b^-2)/(b^7) = a^(3 -(-5)) × b^(-2 -7) = a^8 × b^-9
Applying the second rule gives the simplified form ...
= (a^8)/(b^9)
Answer:
m= 34
Step-by-step explanation: remember a2 plus b2 = c2
Answer:
15
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of algebra problems. Then the number of geometry problems was 27-x and the total working time was ...
2x +5(27 -x) = 90
-3x = 90 -135 . . . . subtract 135
x = -45/-3 = 15 . . . divide by -3
Rob had 15 algebra problems for homework.
Add or subtract numbers from both sides
