For problems like this you can move the y's on the bottem up top by fliping the sign of the exponent (in this case 7 to -7) and MULTIPLYING it with EVERYTHING on top, then because of properties of multplication you can add the exponents to combine them into one term (in this case add 3 and -7 to get -4)

If any of this does not make sense let me know and ill try to clarify better
Answer:
a) x = 13
b) x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
A) Since they have the same base of 2 so
x + 4 + (-5) = 12
x - 1 = 12
x = 13
b) Since they have the same base of -3 so
8 + x + 4 = 19
x + 12 = 19
x = 7
It would be: -2/3 * -9/10 = 18/30 = 3/5
So, option B is your answer.
Hope this helps!

Answer: c
Step-by-step explanation:
The two points on the line are open, so they will not be included in the solution set, which means they will be greater than or less than. No number can fit both inequalities, so it must be “or”. The only one that fits this is c.
