Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
The first one 'cubes' the denominator AND the numerator:
(-2/5)^3 = -2/5 * -2/5 * -2/5 = -8/125
The second one 'cubes' only the denominator:
-2/5^3 = -2 / (5 * 5 * 5) = - 2 / 125
D would be the correct answer.

Answer:
y = 3
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
-5x + 4y = 2
9x - 4y = 6
Sum both eq.
-5x + 9x = 4x
+4y - 4y = 0
2 + 6 = 8
then:
4x + 0 = 8
4x = 8
x = 8/4
x = 2
from the first eq.
-5x + 4y = 2
-5*2 + 4y = 2
-10 + 4y = 2
4y = 2 + 10
4y = 12
y = 12/4
y = 3
Check:
from the second eq.
9x - 4y = 6
9*2 - 4*3 = 6
18 - 12 = 6
Answer:
Large Box = 18.5
Small Box = 15.75
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = large box and y = small box
5x+6y=187
3x+2y=87
cancel out one equation
(5x+6y=187)•3=15x+18y=561
(3x+2y=87)•-5=15x+10y=435
15x+18y=561
-15x-10y=-435
–––––––––––
0+ 8y= 126
8y÷8 =126÷8
y=15.75
Substitute y into either original equation
3x+2(15.75)=87
3x+ 31.5=87
3x+ 31.5-31.5=87-31.5
3x=55.5
3x÷3=55.5÷3
x=18.5
