A poet and a poem I think, but he also compares her to a garden and a flower.
C=7•2=14 this should be right idk
Negative exponents work the same as positive ones, except you have to consider the inverse of the base.
So, if for example
, in the same fashion you have

So, negative exponents lead to a fraction with numerator 1 and denominator the same expression, but with positive exponent.
So, in your case, let's work with the inner parenthesis first:

Now, if we want to raise this to the negative two, we have

1.5x+6-3=4.5(x-2)
1.5x+6-3=4.5x-9
1.5x+3=4.5x-9
1.5x-4.5x+3=-9
1.5x-4.5x=-9-3
-3x=-9-3
-3=-12
X=4
