2x+4 -3x -15=-2x+4
-1x-11=-2x+4
-11=-1x +4
-15=-1x
15=c
the perimeter will then just be the sum of the distances of A, B and C, namely AB + BC + CA.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem is all about bases and exponents. Because we have a quotient and the bases are both 5's, that means that we can use the rule of exponents for quotients to rewrite and simplify:
That's the simplification as long as you are "allowed" to leave the exponent as a negative number.
