Answer:
Not sure exactly which equivalent expression you are looking for but my goal would be to write it without the negative exponent.

Step-by-step explanation:
They have the same exponent and it is multiplication.
There is a law of exponent that says
.
So we have
equals
.
Let's simplify (4*7)^(-2).
Since 4*7=28, we can say
.
Some people really hate that negative exponent. All that - in the exponent means is reciprocal. So
.
Since it varies directly, divide the number of shots by the number of goals:
48 shots / 4 goals = 12
This tells you they score a goal every 12 shots.
Multiply shots needed by number of goals:
12 x 3 = 36
They need 36 more shots to score 3 more goals.
