Step-by-step explanation:
(- 4xy - 2) - 5(xy - 2) - 1
-4xy - 2 - 5xy + 10 - 1
Solving like terms
-9xy + 7
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the range, first order the data from least to greatest. Then subtract the smallest value from the largest value in the set.
One way you could solve this is to just multiply the top and bottom out so that you get 9/81, reducing it by 9/9 to get 1/9 or option C.
Another way would be to do

since dividing numbers with exponents would be subtracting the bottom exponent from the top exponent, provided that the base number (in this case 3) is the same for both. For this method, you would get

, which is equal to 1/9 or .1 repeating, the same answer that you'd get with the first method.
Answer:
68%
Step-by-step explanation:
The increase is (62 - 37), or 25, ounces. Comparing this to the original quantity (37 oz), we divide 25 oz. by 37 oz., obtaining 0.676 (a ratio). Multiplying this ratio by 100%, we get 68% (to the nearest percent).
Answer:
12,288
Step-by-step explanation:
aₙ = 3 (-2)ⁿ⁻¹
a₁₃ = 3 (-2)¹³⁻¹
a₁₃ = 12,288
