Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
You started at level ground and then went deeper which represents the negatives. After you stick a five foot pole in there it sticks up 2 feet.
1 pound = 16 ounces
8 * 16 = 128 ounces
5x + 60y = 35
x +y = 1.5 : rewrite as x = 1.5-y and substitute this formula for x in the first one:
5(1.5-y) + 60y = 35
distribute:
7.5 - 5y + 60y = 35
combine like terms:
7.5 + 55y = 35
subtract 7.5 from both sides:
55y = 27.5
divide both sides by 55 to solve for y
y = 27.5 / 55 = 0.5
now substiute 0.5 for y in the 2nd equation:
x + 0.5 = 1.5
x = 1.5 - 0.5 = 1

Multiplication is a simple way of adding
For example 6x8 is the same as 8+8+8+8+8+8
Any number multiplied by 1 is itself E.g 4x1 = 4
Multiplying by 2 is just doubling
Multiplying by 10 is adding a 0 to the original number
If it is a big number that you do not know how to multiply mentally split it up
E.g 17x13
Split 13 into 10 and 3
17x10= 170
17x3= 51
Then add these numbers
221
If you ever get stuck, use the long method, add them instead, you will get to the right answer but it will take longer
Dividing is not as simple
Like multiplication dividing by one will leave you with the same answer
Dividing by two means you half the number, which may give you a decimal
Bigger numbers are trickier, and you may be allowed to use a calculator for numbers
Below are a number of links, these websites will teach you how to improve your multiplication and division skills:

When multiplying, we add exponents.
So first get a common denominator of 6.
3/6 + 4/6 = 7/6
So the answer is 12x^(7/6)
