As long as you keep the signs with the numbers the order doesn't matter. The cumulative property says that you can flip the numbers in any order and it will equal the same amount.
You made $21.00 an hour, because you split the money in half with your sister, then divided what you made by 10. 420/2 = 210/10 = 21
Select every number from -8 to -4 since
-8/-2=4 so we can’t go any bigger since it’s already at 4
Making k equivalent to -8
26 ⋅ 26^8
Multiply by adding the exponents:
Raise 26 to the power of 1 to get:
26^1 * 26^8
Now when you multiply the same number raised to different powers, you add the powers together:
26^1 * 26^8 = 26^(8+1) = 26^9
So 26 * 26^8 simplifies is 26^9
I think the answer would be A because if the money rates go up more people don’t want the expenses
