The equation would be (x+4)+x=18. X stands for the amount of pears Wilma bought, and (x+4) is the amount of pears Tania bought (because she bought four more pounds than Wilma).
(X+4)+x=18
2x+4=18 (now you subtract four from both sides)
2x=14 (to get x by itself, divide both sides by 2)
X=7
Wilma bought 7 pounds of pears :3
Answer:
d, e
Step-by-step explanation:
The applicable rules of exponents are ...
(a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)
a^-b = 1/a^b
__
In this case, it means the product is ...
(6^1)(6^0)(6^-3) = 6^(1+0-3) = 6^-2 = 1/6^2 = 1/36
__
The 6 without an exponent is equivalent to 6^1, an exponent of 1.
The sum of the exponents is -2.
Add the exponents to simplify the expression.
The value of the expression is 1/36.
An equivalent is any expression that results in 6^-2. One such is (6^5)(6^-7).
__
Only the last two choices, d and e, apply.
