Answer:
a) 1/27
b) 16
c) 1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
a) 
One of the properties of the exponents tells us that when we have a negative exponent we can express it in terms of its positive exponent by turning it into the denominator (and changing its sign), so we would have:

And now, solving for x = 9 we have:

b) 
This is already a positive rational exponent so we are just going to substitute the value of y = 8 into the expression

c) 
Using the same property we used in a) we have:

And now, solving for z = 16 we have:

Answer:
w = .5
Step-by-step explanation:
-4w + 18w+2=10 -6w
14w + 2 -2 = 10 -2 -6w
14w + 2w = 8 - 2w + 2w
16w = 8
16w/16 = 8/16
w = .5
Infinite i think. because the two equations are the same.
Answer:
B:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: 5 : 12
Step-by-step explanation:
the total flower = 5 + 7 = 12
so tulips to total flowers = 5 : 12
