when you multiply exponents, they add together and the base will remain the same:
-5+-2
=-7
therefore the answer is 8^-7
to get rid of the negative, flip the fraction so it becomes
1/8^7
If an equation is in absolute value symbols, the answer is always positive. So this equation has no real solution.
285
just figure out how many is made then multiple that by 15
97.45 • 0.18 = 17.54. 97.45 + 17.54 = 114.99. I think this is right.
