The equation is

×

First, you need to solve the bases/exponents

is 5×5×5=125
Then you solve the second base/exponent but know that with negative exponents, you divide 1 by the number rather than multiplying

= 1÷5÷5=.04
So now the equation is 125×.04=5
Answer: 5
Answer: Width is 7 inches, length is 15 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the width be w. Then, the length is w+8.

Answer:
The answer to your question is width = 6 ft; length = 24 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
Area = 144 ft²
width = w
length = l
The width is 1/4 of the length
Formula
Area = width x length = w x l
Length = 4 width l = 4w
Process
1.- Substitute length in the first equation
Area = w(4w)
Simplify
Area = 4w²
2.- Solve for w
w = 
Substitution
w = 
Simplification
w = 
Result
w = 6 ft
3.- Find l
l = 4(6)
l = 24 ft
Denoms are 12 and 18
12=2*2*3
18=2*3*3
lcd=2*2*3*3=36
lcd=36
