Answer:
x=1 y = -1/2
(1,-1/2)
Step-by-step explanation:
7x-2y=8
5x+2y=4
I would use elimination since we have 2y in one equation and -2y in the other
7x-2y=8
5x+2y=4
--------------------
12x = 12
Divide each side by 12
12x/12 = 12/12
x =1
The substitute back into equation 2
5(1) +2y = 4
5 +2y = 4
Subtract 5
5-5+2y = 4-5
2y = -1
Divide by 2
2y/2 = -1/2
y = -1/2
You would multiply the power by the powers of both exponents
2 × 3 = 6 so a^6
3 × 4 = 12 so b^12
Answer is
a^6b^12
