In the division rule you subtract the exponents<span> when </span>dividing<span> numbers with the same base. </span>One<span> rule for exponents is that exponents add when you have the same base. This works for any number x that you want to plug in except for x = </span>0<span>,because </span>0/0<span> is indeterminate (it is like dividing </span>zero<span> by </span>zero<span>). No matter what number we use when it is raised to the </span>zero power<span> it will always be </span>1.

For this, we use simultaneous equations. Let George's page be g, Charlie's be c and Bill's page be b.

First, <span>George's page contains twice as many type words as Bill's.

Thus, g = 2b.

</span><span>Second, Bill's page contains 50 fewer words than Charlie's page.

Thus, b = c - 50.

</span>If each person can type 60 words per minute, after one minute (i.e. when 60 more words have been typed) <span>the difference between twice the number of words on bills page and the number of words on Charlie's page is 210.

We can express that as 2b - c = 210.

Now we need to find b, since it represents Bill's page.

We can substitute b for (c - 50) since b = c - 50, into the equation 2b - c = 210. This makes it 2(c - 50) - c = 210.

We can expand this to 2c - 100 - c = 210.

We can simplify this to c - 100 = 210.

Add 100 to both sides.

c - 100 + 100 = 210 + 100

Then simplify: c = 210 + 100 = 310.

Now that we know c, we can use the first equation to find b.

b = c - 50 = 310 - 50 = 260.

260 is your answer. I don't know where George comes into it. Maybe it's a red herring!</span>
