Answer:
A negative number taken to an even power gives a positive result (because the pairs of negatives cancel), and a negative number taken to an odd power gives a negative result (because, after cancelling, there will be one minus sign left over).
Step-by-step explanation:
Add 4/5 and 1/5 to make 5/5 or 1 mile the subtract 1 from 2 1/2 to equal 1 1/2 miles
Let T = cost of a taco
Let S = cost of a salad
(2 tacos + 1 salad) + (8 % of 2 tacos and 1 salad) + 3 = 13.80
2T + S + .08(2T + S) + 3 = 13.80
2T + 2.5 + .08(2T + 2.5) + 3 = 13.80
2T + 2.5 + .16T + .20 + 3 = 13.80
2.16T + 5.7 = 13.80
2.16T = 8.10
T = 8.10/2.16 = $3.75
Check: 2T + S + .08(2T + S) + 3 = 13.80
2(3.75) + 2.50 + .08(2(3.75)+2.5) + 3 = 13.80
7.5 + 2.5 + .08(10) + 3 = 13.8
13.80 = 13.80

<h3>#CARRY ON LEARNING</h3><h3>#MARK BRAINLITS</h3>
Given:
15% of its height each day
27 inches on day 10.
How tall was it yesterday?
27 represents 115% of the height yesterday. So we divided 27 by 115% to get yesterdays height.
27 ÷ 115% = 23.48 inches.
The plant was 23.48 inches tall yesterday.
To check:
23.48 x 15% = 3.52 inches
23.48 + 3.52 = 27 inches
