a. 1^5 = 1 × 1 × 1 × 1 × 1 = 1
b. 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 2^5 = 32
c. 20^3 = 20 × 20 × 20 = 8.000
d. 7 × 7 × 7 × 7 = 7^4 = 2.401
0,3 3,3 2,3 and 1,2 (from A to D)
Answer: y= -3/2x + 2
y= -3/2 + b
5 = -3/2 * -2 + b
5 = 3 + b
2 = b
Average reading score is given by the expression,
y = 0.153x + 255.4
Here, x in the number of years past 1970.
To find the year in which the average reading score is 259.378, substitute the value of 'y' in the given expression.
y = 0.153x + 255.4
259.378 = 0.153(x) + 255.4
0.153x = 259.378 - 255.4
0.153x = 3.978
x = 
x = 26
That means given average reading score 259.378 will be 26 years after 1970.
Therefore, 1996 is the year in which the average reading score will be 259.378.

16 + 4x = 10 + 14
16 + 4x = 24.
4x = 24 - 16
4x = 8
x = 8 ÷ 4
x = 2
8x = 2 × 8
8x = 16
Final answer = 16.
