We have the following rule for exponents:

then, in this case we have:
Answer: 7.29 or 7 1/4 or 29/4 (they're all equal, just rewritten)
Step-by-step explanation:
the angles are equal, so we set the equations to each other and then solve. here's my work:
12k - 9 = 8k + 20
12k (- 8k) - 9 = 8k ( - 8k) + 20
4k - 9 = 20
4k -9 ( + 9) = 20 ( + 9)
4k = 29
k = 7.29 or 7 1/4 or 29/4
Answer:
"I don't understand what this means but I will take my best shot, I guess, this is my answer based on the small amount of words this question gives"
Depending on skill level either of them could win, for example if the 10 players are able to overwhelm the 8 players they will win, but if the 8 players have better players they could win, depending on their skill, even though the 10 player team has a better chance to win, the 8 player team could win.
You have to use a ratio so in order to answer the question find out how many times 100 goes into 7,764 which is 77.64 and then multiply 77.64 by 6 which is your answer 465.64
