The answer is 8
Here's why:

The exponents are subtracted one from another when divided.

We can look at the problem this way:

Since we have the power of -1 on the 3, we apply this rule:

Also this rule because we have the power of 1 on the 6:

Then we get this:

We apply the rule:

We get this:
The area would be 18 inches and you would need a ten by ten square to cover it.
Answer:
A)
- National brand cornflakes is 0.174 = .17/oz
- Store label cornflakes is 0.514 = .15/oz
B) The larger box is cheaper per ounce.
C) 2.09 – .30 = 1.79 for 12 ounces. So than $1.79/12= .15/oz.
They would both be the same so there would be no better deal.
Answer:
-8 ≤ y ≤ 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract 7 from the first one:
y ≥ -8
Subtract 3 from the second one, then multiply by 4.
y/4 ≤ 2
y ≤ 8
Now, you can write these as a compound inequality:
-8 ≤ y ≤ 8

<em>Additional comment</em>
You basically solve these the same way you would an equation. The only difference is that multiplying or dividing by a negative number will reverse the inequality symbol:
2 > 1
-2 < -1 . . . . . multiplied above by -1.
If they are in the same line yes. If they aren't then its considered non-collinear.
