What are the rules of exponents?

1 answer:

8 0

The rules of exponents allow you to simplify expressions involving exponents. When multiplying two quantities with the same base, add exponents: xm⋅xn=xm+n x m ⋅ x n = x m + n . When dividing two quantities with the same base, subtract exponents: xmxn=xm−n x m x n = x m − n .

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So let's call the time she needs to catch up "x", and so Terry's rate would be x-6 since he left home 6 hours earlier. Then we multiply the rates to get 20x - 120 = 80x. The answer is -2, but we can just say 2.

Checking our answer, that means if it took Sally 2 hours, it took Terry 8 hours for he left home 6 hours earlier. So 8 times 20 = 160km traveled. 2 times 80 = 160km traveled. Same distance.
