If you mean: (3x)^-1
When you have a power to a negative number (1 in this case), place the power on the numerator, with the base in the denominator.
(3x)^-1 = 1/3x
1/3x, or C) is your answer

Answer:
- 160 ft (out from the river)
- 320 ft (parallel to the river)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the length of fence parallel to the river. Then the dimension of perpendicular to the river will be half the remaining fence: (640-x)/2. The total area will be ...
A = x(640-x)/2
This is the equation of a parabola that opens downward. It has zeros at x=0 and x=640, so its axis of symmetry is x = (0+640)/2 = 320. That is, the peak of the area curve is found when x=320.
The dimensions of the garden with the largest area are 160 ft wide by 320 ft long, where the long side is the river side.
Answer:
The cost of the diamond last year is x = $ 830
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the cost of diamond last year = x
the cost of diamond present year = y
Given that diamond today cost ten dollars more than twice what it cost last year.
⇒ y = 2 x + 10 ------ (1)
The sum of the cost (last year and this year) is = $ 2500
⇒ x + y = $ 2500 -------- (2)
Put the value of y in equation (2) from equation (1), we get
⇒ 2 x + 10 + x = $ 2500
⇒ 3 x = 2490
⇒ x = $ 830
& y = 2500 - 830
⇒ y = $ 1670
Therefore the cost of the diamond last year is x = $ 830
Answer:
a = 24*1/3
a =8
Step-by-step explanation:
We are using proportions to solve this problem by putting students over adults
students 3 24
--------------- = --------------- = -------------
adults 1 a
where a is the unknown number of adults
Using cross products
3a=24*1
Divide by 3
a = 24*1/3
a = 24/3
a = 8
7) (12 + 6)/(2 +4)
(18)/(6) = 3
8) (42 - 24)/6
(18)/6 = 3
9) (9 + 16) - (2 x 4)
25 - 8 = 17
10) 60 - (3 + 2) x 5
60 - 5 x 5
60 - 25 = 35
11) 18 + (9/3)
18 + 3 = 21
12) 5 x (2 + 4 + 3)
5 x (9) = 45
