Answer:
It's all about the brackets.
Step-by-step explanation:
If we do (-4)^2, the brackets make it -4 x -4 and the two negatives make a positive of 16.
If we do -4^2, that means that the 4 is squared before putting the minus sign there so you have 4x4 = 16 then put the minus to get -16.
Hope this helps!

Answer:
none of the above
Step-by-step explanation:
The problem as written cannot have any of the solutions offered.
For any of those choices, the right side expression will be irrational. The left side expression will be rational for any rational value of x, so cannot be equal to the right-side expression.
The solution is an irrational number near ...
x ≈ 1.33682898582
Red to total I believe is 12/23
Answer:
1.4
Step-by-step explanation:
12x+3x=15+6
15x=21
X=21/15
X=7/5 or 1.4
Okay well the starting is 28 dollars, right. But since there is a 20 percent discount, you have to turn 20% to a decimal. That means moving the decimal sign twice to the left to make it .20. From the it would be .20*28, that should equal 5.6. Now, that 5.6 is the amount you have to take away, it is the price of the sale. From then, you subtract which is 28-5.6 which should be 22.4. From that 22.4 you now take away two dollars and then it should be 22.4-2 which should be 20.4. Now that is your answer, 20.4.
