Answer:

b= -10

Step-by-step explanation:

9^ -8  * 9^ -2

We know that a^b * a^c = a^ (b+c)

9^ (-8+-2)

9^ -10

We want it in the form a^b

a=9

b= -10

Write an inequality comparing the rational numbers -3/4 and -2.
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-2 < -3/4.  Another way in which to do this would be to use the LCD:

-8/4 < -3/4.

Even though 8 has a larger magnitude than does 3, -8/4 is smaller than -3/4.  On the number line, -8/4 (or -2) is to the left of -3/4.

100% increase from 100 is 200, the difference is 100.

100% decrease from 100 is 0, the difference is -100

error means that you were quite a long way off from the true value.

Ok, so she started off with $5.00. 


She bought milk for $2.99.

The only thing she could buy is 5 pieces of gum for 25 cents. 

Her change will be $0.26. 

Hope this helps!
