This is the distributive property:

<em>ab</em> + <em>ac</em> = <em>a</em> (<em>b</em> + <em>c</em>)

In this case, you have

<em>a</em> - <em>a</em> (1.2⁴)

and <em>a</em> is a common factor to both <em>a</em> and <em>a</em> (1.2)⁴, so you can pull it out as

<em>a</em> (1 - 1.2⁴)

In a café, I order a cup of tea and a piece of cake and it costs £1.10. The next time I order 2 cups of tea and one piece of cak
defon

Answer:

£0.50

Step-by-step explanation:

t = one cup of tea

c = one piece of cake

t + c = £1.10

2t + c = £1.70

the cost increases by £0.60 (£1.70 - £1.10) when you order one more cup of tea which means that one cup of tea costs £0.60

substitute £0.60 into t + c = £1.10

£0.60 + c = £1.10

rearrange to get c = £1.10 - £0.60 = £0.50

so one piece of cake costs £0.50
