A^-b = 1/a^b
a^b / a^c = a^b-c
a^c / b^c =(a/b)^c
You need to get "x" by itself on one side

Add positive eight on both sides---because its the opposite of negaitve


Divide -2 by -2
-2÷-2=1

Answer:
x= 7
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation is 8+4= 2(x-1)
Distribute into the parenthesis.
8+4= 2x-2
Now, add.
12= 2x-2
Add 2 to both sides.
12= 2x-2
+2 +2
Then, divide by 2 to both sides to isolate the variable.
<u>14</u>= <u>2x</u>
2 2
x=7
Answer:
235 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
Find area of the large rectangle on the bottom. To do that, find its length and width, then multiply them together.
Length of big rectangle=20 cm
Width of big rectangle=9 cm
20x9=180 cm²
Next, find the area of the small rectangle on the top. To do that, find its length and width, then multiply them together.
Length of small rectangle=11 cm
Width of small rectangle=5 cm
I found the width by subtracting 9 from 14, since the 9 cm is part of the large rectangle.
11x5=55 cm²
Add the areas of the two rectangles.
55+180=235 cm²
