3x+4y = 375
6x+ 4y= 600
-------------------
6x-3x  = 600 - 375

3x=225
x=225:3
x=75 cents

3*x+4y= 375
3*75+4y=375
225 +4y = 375
4y=375-225
4y=150
y=150:4
y=37,5 cents

the price is 75+37,5=112,5 cents for one bag of potato chips and one candy bar

Ber [7]

Answer:

  B)  -125a^11

Step-by-step explanation:

  = (-5)^3·a^(2·3)·a^5

  = (-5)^3·a^6·a^5

  = -125·a^(6+5)

  = -125·a^11 . . . . matches choice B

_____

The applicable rules of exponents are ...

  (a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)

  (a^b)^c = a^(bc)
