Answer:
x=-1
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Remove the parenthesis
-x + 1 = -4x - 2
2. Get x alone
-x + 1 = -4x - 2
+1x +1x
1=-3x - 2
+2 +2
3=-3x -3x/-3= x 3/-3 = -1
x=-1
9 pounds
8oz x 18 = 144oz
144oz/16(oz per lb) = 9 lb
Answer:
216
Step-by-step explanation:
3^(-2) = 1/(3^2) = 1/(3*3) = 1/9
The rule used here is x^(-y) = 1/(x^y) to make the exponent positive.
3^2 turns into 3*3 because the exponent 2 tells us how many copies of the base '3' to multiply out.
