To divide exponents (or powers) with the same base, subtract the exponents. Division is the opposite of multiplication, so it makes sense that because you add exponents when multiplying numbers with the same base, you subtract the exponents when dividing numbers with the same base.

When you divide numbers, you make the value smaller.  So subtract the exponents will make the value with that base smaller.

What is the solution to the system of equations?
natka813 [3]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There is an error in the question. The table does not show two linear functions.  y₁ is a linear function, but   y₂ is not a straight line. It makes a bend at (-6,1).

Line 1 goes through (-12,-3) and (0,5).

slope  = (5-(-3))/(0-(-12)) = 2/3

y-intercept = 5

y₁ = (2/3)x + 5

Line 2 goes through (-12,-2) and (-6,1).

slope = (1-(-2))/(-6-(-12)) = 1/2

y₂ = (1/2)x + 4

(2/3)x + 5 = (1/2)x + 4

x = -6

y = (2/3)x + 5 = 1

Solution: (-6,1)

The ratio of nonfiction books to fiction books in a library is 105 to 189. Which statement describes this relationship?
kolezko [41]

Answer: A)There are 5 nonfiction books for every 9 fiction books in the library.  

Step-by-step explanation: If you do the math you realize that there are clearly less nonfiction books than fiction books.

105/5=21 and after 21*9 lines up and to check your work than

5*21=105 and 9*21=189 it is not B because the smaller number 105 is in front of the ratio 105:189 and 5:9
