<u>Answer:</u>
The correct answer option is b. Darius will get the better deal buying one 16 ounce bottle.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
We know that a 16 ounce bottle of the salad dressing is for $3.36 while a 10 ounce bottle is priced at $2.30.
Darius has a coupon for 40 cents off if he buys two 10 ounce bottles. We are to determine what is the better buy.
Price of one 16 ounce bottle = $3.36
Price of two 10 ounce bottles = (2.30 × 2) - 0.4 = $4.2
Therefore, Darius will get the better deal buying one 16 ounce bottle.
Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
(16 =
and 8 =
)

Since the base number is 2, the exponents must equal each other.
So:
12x = 3x+18
9x = 18
x = 2
For # 1, the answer will be 1 because of the exponential rule

.
#2, the answer is going to be

because of the exponential rule

.
#3. I'm not sure that this could be simplified any further.
#4 To get the answer to this question, we must apply the distributive property, along with the exponential rule
. When we apply these properties, we'll get

For the other questions, they all apply the Laws of Exponents.
