Option C is the right way to solve the equation.
Answer:
as written: 7x^2
perhaps intended: 7x^4
Step-by-step explanation:
As written, the Order of Operations specifies that the only denominator factor is 3, so the expression is interpreted as ...

___
Sometimes grouping of denominator factors is intended, but parentheses are not written as they should be. If the intention is ...
21x^3/(3x^-1)
then the simplification is ...

_____
The applicable rules of exponents are ...
(a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)
a^b/a^c = a^(b-c)
Answer:
The first and third answer I believe.
Step-by-step explanation:
The side with 3 can go over 1.5, since they are both at the same side. It will be equivalent to 4 over 2 because they are also the same side. (1st option)
Multiplying each side by 1/2, does result you to the final image.
3 multiplied by 1/2 is 1.5
4 multiplied by 2 is 2
A. 1 pound of cherries costs 2.50
B. Yes it is constant
C. I believe that you would put cost on the y and lbs on the x
E. 5 lbs of cherries = 2.50 x 5 = $12.50
