An exponent signifies repeated multiplication.
the factor x is repeated 3 times
Exponents can be added and subtracted to express the effects of multiplication and division.
The addition and subtraction of exponents works the same even when there are more denominator factors than numerator factors.
That is, a negative numerator exponent is the same as a positive denominator exponent and vice versa. You can move a factor with an exponent from denominator to numerator and change the sign of the exponent, and vice versa.
Your expression has 3 in the denominator with a negative exponent. It can be moved to the numerator and the exponent changed to positive:
Without calculating, you can immediately see the absolute value sign, which implies that the final result (x) should be positive, not negative.

Answer: h(-4)
Step-by-step explanation:
If h(x) something is equal to 4 then set the equation equal 4 and solve for t.
4t +20 = 4
-20 -20
4t = -16
t = -4
So h(-4) = 4
Let
x------> amount of pounds of apples
y------> amount of pounds of oranges
z-----> amount of pounds of peaches
we know that
x+y+z=127------> equation 1
x=4z-----> equation 2
y=7+z----> equation 3
substitute equation 2 and equation 3 in equation 1
x+y+z=127----> (4z)+(7+z)+z=127---> 6z=127-7---> 6z=120----> z=20 lb
x=4z---> x=4*20----> x=80 lb
y=7+z----> y=7+20---> y=27 lb
amount of pounds of apples----> 80 lb
amount of pounds of oranges----> 27 lb
amount of pounds of peaches---> 20 lb
