Answer:

Flip the fraction that you are applying the exponent to, if it's a whole number, just imagine it's over one and flip it that way.

Explanation:

If you have 3/5 ^-3

You would flip the fraction to 5/3, then the exponent turns to positive 3

So 5/3 ^3

For a whole number, for example, 6, ^-2

In other words, it's 6/1 ^2, so you would make it 1/6, then the exponent turns positive.

So 1/6 ^2

Hope this helped :)

Simplify 9y+2y-5y please answer
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

9y+2y-5y=6y

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the expression:

9y+2y-5y

To simplify, simply combine the like terms. Therefore:

9y+2y-5y\\=11y-5y\\=6y

Further notes:

To understand why we can combine like terms in the first place, we just need to use the distributive property. So we have the expression:

9y+2y-5y

Now, factor out a y from the three terms:

=y(9+2-5)

Do all the operations inside the parenthesis:

y(9+2-5)\\=y(11-5)\\=y(6)=6y

And we moved the y back to the front!

This is the same result as before. When combining like terms, this is what we're essentially doing but without doing the distributive property manually. I hope you understand a bit better on how and why we can combine like terms!
