Determine the relationship between x and y
First, we calculate the unit rate, using:

Where k is the unit rate.
Substitute 176 for y and 44 for y

Divide both sides by 44




Substitute 4 for k in 

Hence, the relationship between x and y is: 
Multiply then simplify, that's doing the same work twice...anyway
x^3+x^2y+xy^2-x^2y-xy^2-y^3
x^3-y^3 which if factored is:
(x-y)(x^2+xy+y^2) which is what you started with :)
For this case we have to:
x: Represents the unknown number
y: Represents the exponent of base 10
So, considering a system of equations we have:

From the first equation we have:

Substituting in the second equation:

We choose the positive value:

So, the number is 0.4.
So:

Thus, the exponent is 5.
Answer:
Yara use 0.4 and
