We know that 1 lb = 16 oz
So lets convert the 20 lb to oz and then compare the two quantities in consistent units.
If 1 lb = 16 oz then 20 lb are equal to 20*16 oz, that is
20 lb = 20*16 oz = 320 oz
therefore,
320 oz are greater than 272 oz, or,
20 lb are greater that 272 oz
You do not want the "b" since two of the equations start off at 0 kites.
x=kites purchased
Kities : y=8x
Windy Kites: y=20x
From there, all you need to do is plug in the kite purchased number replacing x.
Start by finding 7% of the $23.20:

Now add this to $23.20:

Now, let's find 18% of this new total with tax to find the tip amount:

This is the tip amount. And finally, let's add this to the 24.824:

Not sure if you were given any instructions about rounding, but Ana's cost will be around $29.29.
Hope this helps.
Answer:
1. x⁴³/³⁵
2. 1/x⁶
3. x⁴/2
Step-by-step explanation:
1. ⁷√x³. ⁵√x⁴
The above expression can be simplified as follow:
Recall:
ᵐ√aⁿ = aⁿ/ᵐ
⁷√x³ × ⁵√x⁴ = x³/⁷ × x⁴/⁵
Recall:
aⁿ × aᵐ = aⁿ⁺ᵐ
x³/⁷ × x⁴/⁵ = x⁽³/⁷ ⁺ ⁴/⁵⁾ = x⁴³/³⁵
Therefore,
⁷√x³. ⁵√x⁴ = x⁴³/³⁵
2. x¯³ / x⁵x¯²
The above expression can be simplified as follow:
Recall:
aⁿ × aᵐ = aⁿ⁺ᵐ
x⁵x¯² = x⁵ ⁺ ⁽¯²⁾ = x⁵ ¯ ² = x³
Thus,
x¯³ / x⁵x¯² = x¯³ / x³
Recall:
aⁿ / aᵐ = aⁿ ¯ ᵐ
x¯³ / x³ = x¯³ ¯ ³ = x¯⁶
Recall
a¯ⁿ = 1/aⁿ
x¯⁶ = 1/x⁶
Therefore,
x¯³ / x⁵x¯² = 1/x⁶
3. 5(x⁴)³ / 10x⁸
The above expression can be simplified as follow:
Recall:
(aⁿ)ᵐ = aⁿ×ᵐ
5(x⁴)³ / 10x⁸ = 5x¹² / 10x⁸
Recall:
aⁿ / aᵐ = aⁿ ¯ ᵐ
5x¹² / 10x⁸ = (5/10)x¹² ¯ ⁸ = 1/2 x⁴ = x⁴/2
Therefore,
5(x⁴)³ / 10x⁸ = x⁴/2
1.) (x - 4)(x + 1) = 0
x^2 + x - 4x - 4 = 0
y = x^2 - 3x - 4
2.) (x - 2)(x - 6) = 0
x^2 - 6x - 2x + 12 = 0
x^2 - 8x + 12 = 0
since the function has a maximum point the leading coefficient is negative.
Therefore, required equation is y = -3x^2 + 24x - 36
3.) a(x + 3)^2 = ax^2 + 6ax + 9a
since the y intercept is at y = 18 => 9a = 18 => a = 2
Therefore, required function is y = 2x^2 + 12x + 18
