Your answer is the first option, -10

Laws of Indices states that a^b x a^c = a^(b + c), therefore 9^-8 x 9^-2 = 9^(-8 - 2) = 9^-10

Answer:

-10

Step-by-step explanation:

9^-8 x 9^-2 = a^b

We know that x^y * x^z = x^(y+z)

9^-8 x 9^-2 = 9^(-8+-2) = 9^(-10)

a= 9

b = -10

AB lies on a number line. The coordinate of point A is -6. Given that AB=20, what are two possible coordinates for point B?

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Coordinate of point A is -6.

Length of AB = 20

To find:

Coordinates for the point B = ?

Solution:

We are given that:

AB = 20

In other words, we can use modulus function to define the distance between A and B:

|Coordinates of B - Coordinates of A| = 20

Let the coordinates of B = $x$

Kindly refer to the attached image for the given situation.

Point B might be either on the left or on the right side of A.

That means:

$|x-(-6)| = 20\\\Rightarrow |x+6|=20$

Now, let us have a look at the modulus function:

$|y|=\left \{ {-{y}\ if\ y0} \right.$

So,

$|x+6|=\left \{ {-{(x+6)}\ if\ (x+6)0} \right.$

$(x+6 ) =20\\\Rightarrow x =14$

$-(x+6 ) =20\\\Rightarrow x =-26$

Therefore, the answer is:

A grocery store has a 13%-off sale on all bread you decide to purchase 6 loaves of bread let b be the original price of a loaf o

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A grocery store has a 13%-off sale on all bread.

Let b represent the original price of a loaf of bread.

This means that the amount by which the price of bread was reduced would be

13/100 × b = 0.13 × b = 0.13b

The new price for the loaf of bread would be

b - 0.13b

you decide to purchase 6 loaves of bread. The expression would be

6(b - 0.13b)

Expanding the expression, it becomes

6b - 0.78b
