Follow PEMDAS.
You would first do your distributive property which is, -5(z+2). You would multiply -5 to z and -5 to 2 which will give you -5z + -10.
so now you have 2z-5z+ -10= -8 - 2z. Now you must isolate the variable. So subtract -8 to -10 which will give you -18.
Now you have the equation 2z-5z-18=-2z
Now combine like terms. 2z-5z= -3z
Now you have the equation -3z-18=-2z
Now you must move the -3z to the other side of the equal sign by adding the opposite which is +3z to -2z which will give you +1z
Now you have -18= 1z
Now you divide. -18 divided by 1 is -18.
So your final answer will be -18=z
Answer: 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
He needs 4 3/4 whole tiles, you could round it to 5 whole tiles. He needed 4 3/4 whole tiles. To completely fill in all the spaces on the wall evenly, it needs to be 5 even, while, tiles. To fill in the empty space, you must subtract 5 and 4 3/4, which explains why Part A says “How many whole tiles does he need” and the answer “4 3/4” So, Subtraction: 5- 4 3/4 = 1/4!

So, we know that it takes Sam 1 mph up and 9 mph down and it takes Liam both 2 mph down and up the hill. So if we divide the 2 mph for Liam by 2 miles (the whole length of the hill) we will get 1 or 1 hour. Then we do 1/1 (i don't know how to explain this part of why we do that, sorry) and than we do 1 / 9 and we get 1/9 so we add them and get 1 1/9 so that's Sam's time.
So, Liam took one hour and Sam took 1 and 1/9 hours, in conclusion liam was faster

Answer:
In the world of exponents, 4 is the number being raised by the exponent, which is 2.
Let's answer the first question:
If the base is 4, what is the value if the exponent is 2?
- The base is 4 and the exponent is 2. We would multiply 4 two times.

So, it would be 16.
Let's answer the second question:
What if the exponent is -2?
<u>This is the rule for negative exponents:</u>
Using this rule, we can solve
.

So, our answer for the 2nd question is 1/16.
