3/9 + 1/2 = 5/6
2 1/3 + 2 1/4 = 4 and 7/12
The concept of radicals and radical exponents is tricky at first, but makes sense when we look into the logic behind it.
When we write a radical in exponential form, like writing √x as x^(1/2), we are simply putting the power of the radical in the denominator (bottom number) of the exponent, and the numerator is the power we raise the exponent to, or the power that would be inside the radical.
In our example, √x is really ²√(x¹), or the square root of x to the first power. For this reason, we write it as x^(1/2).
Let's say we wanted to write the cubed root of x squared, in exponential form.
In radical form, it would look like this:
³√(x²) . This means we square x, and then take the cubed root.
In exponential form, remember that we take the power of the radical (3), and make that the denominator of the exponent, and keep the numerator as the power that x is raised to (2).
Therefore, it would be x^(2/3), or x to the 2 thirds power.
Just like when multiplying by a fraction, you multiply by the numerator and divide by the denominator, in exponential form, you raise your base number to the power of the numerator, and take the root of the denominator.
Answer:
Junk gets 72
Step-by-step explanation:
Leah: Junko: total
1 8 1+8 = 9
The total is 81
81/9 = 9
Multiply each part by 9
Leah: Junko: total
1*9 8*9 9*9
9 72 81
By solving a system of equations, we see that:
x = 89 and y = 98.

How to find the two numbers?</h3>
First, we can write:
x = a*10 + b
y = b*10 + c
Where a, b, and c are single digit numbers. You can see that b is on both numbers because we know that the numbers share a digit, but on different order.
We also know that:
x + y = 187
a + b + b + c = 34
I we rewrite the first equation, we get:
(a*10 + b) + (b*10 + c) = 187
10a + 11b + c = 187
Then we have two equations:
a + 2b + c = 34
10a + 11b + c = 187
In both equations we can isolate c:
34 -2b -a = c
10a + 11b - 187 = c
Now we have:
-a - 2b + 34 = -10a - 11b + 187
Solving that, we get:
9a + 9b = 153
a + b = 153/9 = 17
Then a and b add up to 17, we can take:
a = 8
b = 9
And:
c = -a - 2b + 34 = -8 - 9 - 9 + 34 = 8
Then the numbers are:
x = 89
y = 98
