since this is a multiplication, all the numerators are just factors of the product numerator and all denominators are just factors of the product denominator, so we can simply reorder them some, without changing the product.

You tell me if this makes sense to you.
It's 47 years from 1970 to 2017 so you would need to multiply 7% by the 47 years.
So: 0.07x47= 3.29
Now you should add your new price to your original price: $3.29+$0.35= 3.64
So it should cost $3.64 now. Yes that does seem kind of low but that's how you do it.
I hope this helps :)
All you have to do is write a positive number. let's say 4, then write a positive exponent (that's the tiny number in the right corner of the regular number) and then just write a positive exponent less than 4.
So 4 squared
Answer:
16.5 ft by 25.5 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Let w represent the width of the garden in feet. Then w+9 is the garden's length, and w(w+9) represents its area.
The surrounding walkway adds 8 feet to each dimension, so the total area of the garden with the walkway is ...
(w+8)(w+9+8) = w^2 +25w +136
If we subtract the area of the garden itself, then the remaining area is that of the walkway:
(w^2 +25w +136) - (w(w+9)) = 400
16w + 136 = 400 . . .simplify
16w = 264 . . . . . . . . subtract 136
264/16 = w = 16.5 . . . . . width of the garden in feet
w+9 = 25.5 . . . . . . . . . . .length of the garden in feet
No nodcause it has to me in y=mx+b form. so just sub. 1 from each side
