There is no equals sign. Are we looking for x, or y?
Either way, with the -5 exponent outside the parentheses, you can multiply that to each exponent in the fraction to get rid of it.
I'm not sure what you mean by 2x^12y^3. Is it an exponent within another exponent?
To find the surface area you will need to find the area of all 5 surfaces (faces) on the prism. On a triangular prism there are 2 triangular faces and 3 rectangular faces. All 3 rectangular faces are the same and the 2 triangular faces are also the same.
To find the area of the triangular faces, you will use the formula for finding the area of a triangle:
A = 1/2bh
1/2 x 10 x 8.7
A = 43.5 in^2
To find the area of the rectangular faces, you will use the formula for finding the area of a rectangle:
A = bh
10 x 3
A = 30 in ^2
30 + 30 + 30 + 43.5 + 43.5 = 177
The minimum amount of wrapping paper needed for the gift is 177 square inches.
If we discuss this as if it is a triangle then the "rise" is the vertical side and the "run" is the adjacent side.
So the ratio of the rise to the run is 8 / 15 which equals

To find the angle of this roof pitch we look up the arc tangent of

and we find that is 28.072 Degrees

All angles in triangle inside add up to 180
so
the angles are y, 79,37
therefor
y+79+37=180
solvde for y
y+79+37=180
add
y+116=180
subtract 116 from ot hsides
y=64
angle y=64 degrees
